CANT. VII. 5.

Thine head upon thee is like Carmel, and the hair of thine head like purple—

HYMN 119.

THy head like Carmels crimson mount, Repleat with light, as that with flowers: Erects it self, and doth surmount Above all human earthly Powers. As Carmel did o're-top the Hills, And far transcend their excellence: The Glory of my Sion fills The World, and takes pre▪eminence. The mountain of the Lords great house, Above the tops of Mountains rose:

'Tis now fulfill'd: O Carmel rouse, Exalt thy self above thy foes. Lift up thy head Jerusalem, I've made thee Lord of all the Earth: Thy Scepter's in the hand of them That are men of Renown and Worth. And as thy hair upon thy head, In numerous Unites overspread: So shall thy Purple Judges fill With righteous Laws, the World half dead. For Muninment and Ornament, Hair is the Glory of the Head: So shall thy wholsome Edicts spread, And Justice be in Triumph led.

Another to the Tune of Psal. 148.

LIke Carmels crimson mount, Such is my Church to me: My Sion, I account Above all things that be: I will her praise Above the Moon, The Stars, the Sun, Her honour raise▪ Thy head doth raise its top, Above all humane Powers:

Their Boughs I'le have thee lop, And pull down all their Towers: And then shall we Rejoyce to see, Fair Carmel be, In high degree. The Mountain of the house Of God, shall top the hills: And Sion shall advance Her rod against their wills. Great Sion shall By force of Arms, And milder charms, O're top them all. Thy Purple Judges shall Like hair in Unites spread: Send forth such Laws that all The People shall be glad: Then shall they praise, And lively sing: For Sions King, Their Voices raise.
