Belshazzar |
Art thou that Daniel of the Jewish captives? |
I have heard of thee. |
That thou canst find interpretations deep, |
And dissolve knotty doubts. If thou canst read |
This writing, and explain, a purple robe |
Adorns thy body, a gold chain thy neck, |
And in the kingdom thou shalt rule the third. |
