Others reputes them as nothing,
⁠alone proclaims his praise.
Whose seven [27] times it served forth
⁠in vain for rest to crave;
Whom Devils Legions do possess,
⁠a Monarch turn'd a Slave.
Deposed thus, thou knewest well,
⁠Belshazzar, [28] O his Son,
And renew'd so, [29] deliverance is
⁠voiced by every one.
A day a [30] Trumpet made to sound
⁠For Generations all
