[ PLATE 50 ]
The Atlantic Mountains where Giants dwelt in Intellect;Now given to stony Druids, and Allegoric GenerationTo the Twelve Gods of Asia, the Spectres of those who Sleep:Sway'd by a Providence oppos'd to the Divine Lord Jesus:5A murderous Providence! A Creation that groans, living on Death.Where Fish & Bird & Beast & Man & Tree & Metal & StoneLive by Devouring, going into Eternal Death continually:Albion is now possess'd by the War of Blood! the SacrificeOf envy Albion is become, and his Emanation cast out:
10Come Lord Jesus, Lamb of God descend! for if; O Lord!If thou hadst been here, our brother Albion had not died.Arise sisters! Go ye & meet the Lord, while I remain—Behold the foggy mornings of the Dead on Albions cliffs!Ye know that if the Emanation remains in them:15She will become an Eternal Death, an Avenger of SinA Self-righteousness: the proud Virgin-Harlot! Mother of War!And we also & all Beulah, consume beneath Albions curse.
So Erin spoke to the Daughters of Beulah. ShudderingWith their wings they sat in the Furnace, in a night20Of stars, for all the Sons of Albion appeard distant stars,Ascending and descending into Albions sea of death.And Erins lovely Bow enclos'd the Wheels of Albions Sons.
Expanding on wing, the Daughters of Beulah replied in sweet response
Come O thou Lamb of God and take away the remembrance of Sin25To Sin & to hide the Sin in sweet deceit. is lovely!!To Sin in the open face of day is cruel & pitiless! ButTo record the Sin for a reproach: to let the Sun go downIn a remembrance of the Sin: is a Woe & a Horror!A brooder of an Evil Day, and a Sun rising in blood30Come then O Lamb of God and take away the remembrance of SinEnd of Chap. 2d.
