To matchless valour, and adventures high:  
The Virgins also shall on feastful days  
Visit his Tomb with flowers, only bewailing  
His lot unfortunate in nuptial choice,  
From whence captivity and loss of eyes.  
1740  
Chor: All is best, though we oft doubt,  
What th' unsearchable dispose  
Of highest wisdom brings about,  
And ever best found in the close.  
Oft he seems to hide his face,  
But unexpectedly returns  
1750  
And to his faithful Champion hath in place  
Bore witness gloriously; whence Gaza mourns  
And all that band them to resist  
His uncontroulable intent,  
His servants he with new acquist  
Of true experience from this great event  
With peace and consolation hath dismist,  
And calm of mind all passion spent.  
The End.
