Rh "David waits," the prophet answers, "In a black notorious den, In a cave upon the border With four hundred outlaw men.

"He is fair, and loved of women, Mighty-hearted, born to sing; Thieving, weeping, erring, praying, Radiant royal rebel-king.

"He will come with harp and psaltry, Quell his troop of convict swine, Quell his mad-dog roaring rascals, Witching them with words divine&mdash;

"They will ram the walls of Zion! They will win us Salem hill, All for David, Shepherd David&mdash; Singing like a mountain rill?"
