Carmen elegiacum, Englands elegie or Lamentation

Zion stretcheth forth her hands and there is none to comfort her : the Lord hath commanded concerning Jacob that his adversaries should be round about him : Jerusalem is as a menstruous woman in the midst of them, Law. I, 17. : they have heard that I sigh there is none to comfort me : all mine enemies have heard of my trouble, they are glad that thou hast done it : thou wilt bring the day that thou hast called and they shall be like me: verse 21
