written
_d_Gi-bil-aga-mis, and means "The fire god (_Gibil_) is a commander,"

which by full labialization of _b_ to _u_ was finally contracted to
_d_Gi-il-ga-mis.

Not with less noise, with less impetuous force,
The tide of Trojans urge their
desperate
course,
Than when in autumn Jove his fury pours,
And earth is loaden with incessant showers;
(When guilty mortals break the eternal laws,
Or judges, bribed, betray the righteous cause;)
From their deep beds he bids the rivers rise,
And opens all the flood-gates of the skies:
The impetuous torrents from their hills obey,
Whole fields are drown'd, and mountains swept away;
Loud roars the deluge till it meets the main;
And trembling man sees all his labours vain!

When he these bitter byting wordes had red,
The tydings straunge did him abashed make,
That still he sate long time astonished, 255
As in great muse, ne word to
creature
spake.

_
In valleys of springs of rivers,
By Ony and Teme and Clun,
The country for easy livers,
The
quietest
under the sun,
We still had sorrows to lighten,
One could not be always glad,
And lads knew trouble at Knighton
When I was a Knighton lad.

Dann sammelt sich der Jugend
schonste
Blute
Vor eurem Spiel und lauscht der Offenbarung,
Dann sauget jedes zartliche Gemute
Aus eurem Werk sich melanchol'sche Nahrung,
Dann wird bald dies, bald jenes aufgeregt
Ein jeder sieht, was er im Herzen tragt.

Had fix'd his eye, without a twinkle or stir
Full on the alarmed beauty of the bride,
Brow-beating her fair form, and
troubling
her sweet pride.

battle, but you have your trenches and your walls, and there are ways
of gaining time until armies come flocking from the neighbouring
provinces to your rescue.
