In pious times, ere priest-craft did begin, before polygamy was made a sin; when man, on many, multipli'd his kind, ere one to one was cursedly confin'd: when nature prompted, and no law deni'd promiscuous use of concubine and bride; then, israel's monarch, after heaven's own heart, his vigorous warmth did variously impart to wives and slaves: and, wide as his command, scatter'd his maker's image through the land.
