The Knight, or Soldier

In a Moment shall they die, and the People shall be troubled at Midnight, and pass away: And the Mighty shall be taken away without Hand.

Job xxxiv. 20.

Against the Man who Wars excites,
And does mild Peace despise,
(Peace, that to all great Blessings brings)
The People shall arise:

To Courage only they shall trust,
This Tyrant fierce to tame;
And fall he shall, but by a Stroke
No human Hand shall aim;

For him who, to oppress Mankind,
Shall mighty Arms employ,
Resistless Death shall suddenly
By an ill Fate destroy.
