When the Armies Surround Jerusalem

The sleeping slumber, slipped     My startled soul 
When the Phalanxes fell Fated upon the frail faults
Where they beat perfectly brazen Beasts on the first battle.
But, the great horsemen came harrowing Harrowed upon the hills
And the Phalanxes could not turn For, though Cyrus fought in those Phalanxes
Alexander the Great aligned himself With the all coming animals
Who would feast upon flesh In battles gross and bald.
Thus, the Phalanxes could not furnish Their foes, for Alexander's rush attacked
Them from the port guard, and grueling Gore spilled over the gargantuan gorges.
Cyrus' numbers were no more. Alexander had numbered them with the null.
Who will assay Alexander though? The Abomination surrounded Ariel
And who, but Christ, will Christen the victor won? Can anyone but He defeat and pay the cost?
Therefore, Jeshurun, flee to the hillocks and dales And don't come down, even if he says "I am David".
