Thy strong Foundation shall be Sapphires pure:
Thy strong Foundation shall be Saphyrs pure:
Although I seemed to have forsaken thee,
Although I seem'd to have forsaken thee,
Yet, from all bondage I will set thee free,
Though I have thee afflicted heretofore,
Isle turn my hand upon the bloody Whore;
Ile turn my hand upon the bloody VVhore;
