The mourning saint among the willows: or, heavenly music regained. Extracted from Psalm Cxxxvii, ver. 1,2,3. We hung our Harps upon the Willows in the midst thereof; by the Rivers of Babylon there we sat down, yea, we wept; for they that carried us away captive required of us a Song; and they that wasted us required of us Mirth. Isaiah, Chap. xiii. Ver. 21. But the wild Beasts of the Desart shall lie there; and their Houses shall be full of doleful Creatures, and Owls shall dwell there, and Satyrs shall dance there.
