Numbers 11:28: My lord Moses, forbid them
From Short Hymns on Select Passages of the Holy Scriptures (1762) · Osborn ed., vol. 9 (1870)
Religion
How often have I blindly done
Vhat zealous Joshua did.
Impatient to the rulers run,
And cried " My lords, forbid!
Silence the schismatics; constrain
Their thoughts with ours to' agree;
And sacrifice the souls of men
To idol unity!"
