2. METRE.
The mighty God, &c.
LORD make our Sons as plants grown up in youth, our Daughters as the carved corner stones Of some fair Pallace, which an artist doth erect with Pillars, making curious ones: Our Garners full all sorts of store containing: Our Sheep by thousands, and ten thousands yeaning. Our Oxen strong to labour, fat of flesh, no breaking in where dread and danger meets: No going out to wars begun afresh, no sad complaining uttered in our streets.

Happy the people blest so for their bodies, Yea, happy people, whose protector God is.
