Yet , Jonathan , thy bow of might AA as glorious in former fight ; The sword of Saul in battle gleamed , Till heathen blood in rivers streamed .
As eagles swift to cleave the air—As lions strong the prey to tear ; Together they fought gloriously , Ah ! that they should together die ! Daughters of Israel , weep for Saul , AA ho decked you out in scarlet all , Ancl brought from his victorious fight
, Jewels and gems for your delight . Ah , wherefore shoulcl the mighty die ? In dust the strength of nations lie . Oh , Jerusalem ! th y fall I know , AA ' as in the thickest of the foe . For thee , my brother , oil ! for thee
