Saul |
Wretch that I am, of my own ruin author! |
Where are my old supports? The valiant youth, |
Whose very name was terror to my foes, |
My rage has drove away. Of God forsaken, |
In vain I ask his counsel. He vouchsafes |
No answer to the sons of disobedience! |
Even my own courage fails me! Can it be? |
Is Saul become a coward? I’ll not believe it! |
If Heav’n denies thee aid, seek it from hell! |
