Cymbals and harps let them be tuned well : 'Tis he that doth the poor's estate advance:
Do this not only on the solemn days,
But on your secret beds your spirits raise.
O let the saints bear in their mouth his praise; And a two-edged sword drawn in their hand; Therewith for to revenge the former days. Upon all nations that their zeal withstand;
To bind their kings in chains of iron strong, And manacle their nobles for their wrong.
Expect the time, for 'tis decreed in Heaven, Such honour shall unto his saints be given.
