<L>Of all the Kings in I&s;rael</L>
<L>that reigned long ago;</L>
<L>I do remember very well</L>
<L>that Chronicles doth &s;how</L>
<L>That when it fell to Solomon;</L>
<L>He proved &s;uch a Paragon,</L>
<L>As never there was any one,</L>
<L>as after you &s;hall know.</L>
</LG>
<LG>
<L>For when he came to be a King,</L>
<L>He feared God in every thing;</L>
<L>In Sacrifice and wor&s;hipping</L>
<L>great co&s;t he did be&s;tow;</L>
<L>There was a place in I&s;rael,</L>
<L>Call'd Gibeon at this day;</L>
<L>And thither went King Solomon</L>
<L>to Sacrifice and pray.</L>
</LG>
<LG>
<L>But God did in a Vi&s;ion</L>
<L>Appear unto King Solomon</L>
<L>While he was yet in Gibeon,</L>
<L>and thus to him did &s;ay:</L>
<L>Becau&s;e of thy Humility</L>
<L>Ask what thou wilt (O King) of me</L>
<L>O &s;peak that I may give it thee</L>
<L>before thou go it away.</L>
</LG>
<LG>
<L>Then Solomon thus an&s;wered</L>
<L>to thee be always prai&s;e;</L>
<L>For that as thou ha&s;t promi&s;ed</L>
<L>in our fore fathers days:</L>
<L>Since that as thou ha&s;t promi&s;ed</L>
<L>not to leave their Table unfurni&s;hed</L>
<L>But to leave it <GAP DESC="illegible" REASON="under-inked" EXTENT="1 letter">arni&s;hed</L>
<L>to them that &s;ees thy ways.</L>
</LG>
<LG>
<L>Thy holy Wisdom grant to me</L>
<L>thy holy Law to under&s;tand</L>
<L>An under&s;tanding heart to &s;ee</L>
<L>the judgements of each Land:</L>
<L>That I may well Govern the &s;ame</L>
<L>As ju&s;tice rightly ought to frame</L>
<L>To the Glory of his name</L>
<L>with mercy in my hand.</L>
</LG>
<LG>
<L>Then God who took it in good part</L>
<L>what Solomon had &s;aid;</L>
<L>Becau&s;e it was &s;o in his heart</L>
<L>to ask as he had pray'd;</L>
<L>He &s;aid I will give unto thee</L>
<L>As never none the like &s;hall be</L>
<L>Either before or after thee</L>
<L>therefore be not afraid.</L>
</LG>
<LG>
<L>I will give thee Wisdom great</L>
<L>and Trea&s;ure pas&s;ing &s;tore;</L>
<L>Now &s;itting on thy Father's &s;eat</L>
<L>as no King had before;</L>
<L>With that aro&s;e King So<GAP DESC="illegible" REASON="missing" EXTENT="1 letter">omon</L>
<L>And went away to Gibeon</L>
<L>To guide the charge he took upon</L>
<L>as no King took before.</L>
</LG>
<LG>
<L>Then after that in Israel</L>
<L>He reigned long their King full well</L>
<L>As all the Holy Books can tell</L>
<L>with great increa&s;e and &s;tore.</L>
