THE last and greatest Herald of Heaven's King, br Girt with rough skins, hies to the deserts wild, br Among that savage brood the woods forth bring, br Which he than man more harmless found and mild. br His food was locusts, and what young doth spring br With honey that from virgin hives distill'd; br Parch'd body, hollow eyes, some uncouth thing br Made him appear, long since from earth exiled.
