    Reuben, thou art my firstborn, my might, and the beginnings of my
    strength, the excellency of dignity, and the excellency of power:
    Unstable as water, thou shalt not excel; because thou wentest up
    to thy father's bed; then defiledst thou it: he went up to my
    couch.

'Tis a little thing
To give a cup of water; yet its draught
Of cool refreshment, drain'd by fever'd lips,
May give a shock of pleasure to the frame

Renews the life of joy in happiest hours.

'Tis rushing now adown the spout,
And gushing out below,
Half frantic in its joyousness,

And it hath long'd to be
Released from out the selfish cloud,
To cool the thirsty tree.
