HYMN 506. (5. PART.)
Argument.
The plague of bloud, of flies, of lice, of hail
And Caterpillars, Aegypt's Land assail.
[verse 29] HE turn'd their waters into bloud,
and slew their fish; in ponds and springs,
[verse 30] Their Land brought Frogs, a monstrous brood;
filling the Chambers of their Kings.
[verse 31] Strange flies and lice by his command
in all their Coasts there did remain:
[verse 32] He gave them Hail in all their Land,
and flames of fire for showers of rain.
[verse 33] He smote their vines and their figtrees,
their trees in field and wilderness:
[verse 24] He spake, and Locusts swarm'd like Bees,
and Caterpillars numberless.
[verse 35] Upon the Lands Green Herbs they fed
and did their dainty fruits devour:
[verse 36] All Aegypts first-born he smote dead
the chief of all their strength and power.
