“Prostrate on earth the bleeding warrior lies, And Isr'el's beauty on the mountains dies. How are the mighty fallen! Hush'd be my sorrow, gently fall my tears, Lest my sad tale should reach the alien's ears: Bid Fame be dumb, and tremble to proclaim In heathen Gath, or Ascalon, our shame Lest proud Philistia, lest our haughty foe, With impious scorn insult our solemn woe.” ShouldEarthLyingDiesFallTearsProudSorrowFameMountainEarsShameTalesWarriorAliensDumbFallenInsultWoeFoeScornSolemnBleedingHushHeathenHaughty Author:William Somervile
