Excerpt: ... But flill obdurate, Pharoah durft withhold Our father's rights, and fcorn'd the plagues foretold. Meantime, incens'd, God fent a fwarm of flies; Such numbers rofe, that Egypt knew furprife. The blighted earth now ceas'd it's fruit to bear, And all was dread, difmay, and deep defpair: Ev'n Pharoah felt remorfe; but fin return'd, And held his heart, which would not be reform'dj Jehovah's mighty pow'r rebuk'd his mind: On vice intent, and to experience blind, Heharden'd fell.--God blafted every field; The Lord Almighty his great name reveal'd.
