Job xiv. 13-15.
RONDEL.
Would that thou hid me in the grave / And kept me with death's gaoler-care; / Until thy wrath away should wear / A sentence fixed thy prisoner gave!
I would endure with patience brave / So thou remembered I was there!
Would that thou hid me in the grave, / And kept me with death's gaoler-care!
To see thy creature thou wouldst crave -- / Desire thy handiwork so fair; / Then wouldst thou call through death's dank air / And I would answer from the cave!
Would that thou hid me in the grave, / And kept me with death's gaoler-care!
