Then Samson called to the LORD and said, “O Lord GOD, please remember me The Philistines poked out my eyes, but make me strong one last time, so I can.
Table of contents

Nor do I name of men the common rout, That wandring loose about [ ] Grow up and perish, as the summer flie , Heads without name no more rememberd , But such as thou hast solemnly elected, With gifts and graces eminently adorn'd To some great work, thy glory, [ ] And peoples safety, which in part they effect: Yet toward these thus dignifi'd , thou oft Amidst thir highth of noon, Changest thy countenance, and thy hand with no regard Of highest favours past [ ] From thee on them, or them to thee of service.

Nor only dost degrade them, or remit To life obscur'd , which were a fair dismission, But throw'st them lower then thou didst exalt them high, Unseemly falls in human eie , [ ] Too grievous for the trespass or omission, Oft leav'st them to the hostile sword Of Heathen and prophane , thir carkasses To dogs and fowls a prey , or else captiv'd : Or to the unjust tribunals, under change of times, [ ] And condemnation of the ingrateful multitude.

If these they scape , perhaps in poverty With sickness and disease thou bow'st them down, Painful diseases and deform'd , In crude old age; [ ] Though not disordinate, yet causeless suffring The punishment of dissolute days, in fine, Just or unjust, alike seem miserable, For oft alike, both come to evil end. So deal not with this once thy glorious Champion, [ ] The Image of thy strength, and mighty minister. What do I beg? Behold him in this state calamitous, and turn His labours , for thou canst, to peaceful end.

But who is this, what thing of Sea or Land? My Wife, my Traytress , let her not come near me. With doubtful feet and wavering resolution I came, still dreading thy displeasure, Samson, Which to have merited, without excuse, I cannot but acknowledge; yet if tears [ ] May expiate though the fact more evil drew In the perverse event then I foresaw My penance hath not slack'n'd , though my pardon No way assur'd.

But conjugal affection Prevailing over fear, and timerous doubt [ ] Hath led me on desirous to behold Once more thy face, and know of thy estate. If aught in my ability may serve To light'n what thou suffer'st , and appease Thy mind with what amends is in my power, [ ] Though late, yet in some part to recompense My rash but more unfortunate misdeed. Yet hear me Samson; not that I endeavour To lessen or extenuate my offence, But that on th' other side if it be weigh'd By it self, with aggravations not surcharg'd , Or else with just allowance counterpois'd [ ] I may, if possible, thy pardon find The easier towards me, or thy hatred less.

First granting, as I do, it was a weakness In me, but incident to all our sex, Curiosity, inquisitive, importune [ ] Of secrets, then with like infirmity To publish them, both common female faults : Was it not weakness also to make known For importunity, that is for naught, Wherein consisted all thy strength and safety?

But I to enemies reveal'd , and should not. Nor shouldst thou have trusted that to womans frailty E're I to thee, thou to thy self wast cruel. Let weakness then with weakness come to parl [ ] So near related, or the same of kind, Thine forgive mine; that men may censure thine The gentler, if severely thou exact not More strength from me, then in thy self was found.

Captivating, Patriotic and Filled with Hope!

And what if Love, which thou interpret'st hate, [ ] The jealousie of Love, powerful of sway In human hearts, nor less in mine towards thee, Caus'd what I did? I saw thee mutable Of fancy, fear'd lest one day thou wouldst leave me As her at Timna, sought by all means therefore [ ] How to endear, and hold thee to me firmest: No better way I saw then by importuning To learn thy secrets, get into my power Thy key of strength and safety: thou wilt say, Why then reveal'd?

I was assur'd by those [ ] Who tempted me, that nothing was design'd Against thee but safe custody , and hold: That made for me, I knew that liberty Would draw thee forth to perilous enterprises, While I at home sate full of cares and fears [ ] Wailing thy absence in my widow'd bed; Here I should still enjoy thee day and night Mine and Loves prisoner, not the Philistines , Whole to my self, unhazarded abroad, Fearless at home of partners in my love.

Be not unlike all others , not austere [ ] As thou art strong, inflexible as steel. If thou in strength all mortals dost exceed, In uncompassionate anger do not so. How cunningly the sorceress displays Her own transgressions, to upbraid me mine?

Samson's Last Prayer

All wickedness is weakness : that plea therefore With God or Man will gain thee no remission. Since thou determinst weakness for no plea In man or woman, though to thy own condemning, Hear what assaults I had, what snares besides, [ ] What sieges girt me round, e're I consented; Which might have aw'd the best resolv'd of men, The constantest to have yielded without blame. It was not gold, as to my charge thou lay'st , That wrought with me: thou know'st the Magistrates [ ] And Princes of my countrey came in person, Sollicited , commanded, threatn'd , urg'd , Adjur'd by all the bonds of civil Duty And of Religion, press'd how just it was, How honourable , how glorious to entrap [ ] A common enemy, who had destroy'd Such numbers of our Nation: and the Priest Was not behind, but ever at my ear , Preaching how meritorious with the gods It would be to ensnare an irreligious [ ] Dishonourer of Dagon: what had I To oppose against such powerful arguments?

A delicious dinner themed like the show...

Only my love of thee held long debate; And combated in silence all these reasons With hard contest: at length that grounded maxim [ ] So rife and celebrated in the mouths Of wisest men; that to the public good Private respects must yield; with grave authority Took full possession of me and prevail'd ; Vertue , as I thought, truth, duty so enjoyning. I thought where all thy circling wiles would end; In feign'd Religion, smooth hypocrisie.

But had thy love, still odiously pretended, Bin , as it ought, sincere, it would have taught thee Far other reasonings, brought forth other deeds. Why then Didst thou at first receive me for thy husband? Then, as since then, thy countries foe profest : Being once a wife, for me thou wast to leave [ ] Parents and countrey ; nor was I their subject, Nor under their protection but my own, Thou mine, not theirs: if aught against my life Thy countrey sought of thee, it sought unjustly, Against the law of nature, law of nations , [ ] No more thy countrey , but an impious crew Of men conspiring to uphold thir state By worse then hostile deeds, violating the ends For which our countrey is a name so dear; Not therefore to be obey'd.

Samson - Judge and Nazirite

But zeal mov'd thee; [ ] To please thy gods thou didst it; gods unable To acquit themselves and prosecute their foes But by ungodly deeds, the contradiction Of their own deity, Gods cannot be: Less therefore to be pleas'd , obey'd , or fear'd , [ ] These false pretexts and varnish'd colours failing, Bare in thy guilt how foul must thou appear?

In argument with men a woman ever Goes by the worse, whatever be her cause. For want of words no doubt, or lack of breath, [ ] Witness when I was worried with thy peals. I was a fool, too rash, and quite mistaken In what I thought would have succeeded best. Let me obtain forgiveness of thee, Samson, Afford me place to shew what recompense [ ] Towards thee I intend for what I have misdone, Misguided: only what remains past cure Bear not too sensibly, nor still insist To afflict thy self in vain: though sight be lost, Life yet hath many solaces, enjoy'd [ ] Where other senses want not their delights At home in leisure and domestic ease, Exempt from many a care and chance to which Eye-sight exposes daily men abroad.

  5. I to the Lords will intercede, not doubting [ ] Thir favourable ear, that I may fetch thee From forth this loathsom prison-house, to abide With me, where my redoubl'd love and care With nursing diligence, to me glad office, May ever tend about thee to old age [ ] With all things grateful chear'd , and so suppli'd , That what by me thou hast lost thou least shalt miss. No, no, of my condition take no care; It fits not; thou and I long since are twain; Nor think me so unwary or accurst [ ] To bring my feet again into the snare Where once I have been caught; I know thy trains Though dearly to my cost, thy ginns , and toyls ; Thy fair enchanted cup , and warbling charms No more on me have power, their force is null'd , [ ] So much of Adders wisdom I have learn't To fence my ear against thy sorceries.

    If in my flower of youth and strength, when all men Lov'd , honour'd , fear'd me, thou alone could hate me Thy Husband, slight me, sell me, and forgo me; [ ] How wouldst thou use me now, blind, and thereby Deceiveable , in most things as a child Helpless, thence easily contemn'd , and scorn'd , And last neglected? How wouldst thou insult When I must live uxorious to thy will [ ] In perfet thraldom, how again betray me, Bearing my words and doings to the Lords To gloss upon, and censuring, frown or smile?

    Samson at Sight & Sound Theatres® Branson

    This Gaol I count the house of Liberty To thine whose doors my feet shall never enter. Not for thy life, lest fierce remembrance wake My sudden rage to tear thee joint by joint. At distance I forgive thee, go with that; Bewail thy falshood , and the pious works [ ] It hath brought forth to make thee memorable Among illustrious women, faithful wives: Cherish thy hast'n'd widowhood with the gold Of Matrimonial treason: so farwel.

    I see thou art implacable, more deaf [ ] To prayers, then winds and seas, yet winds to seas Are reconcil'd at length, and Sea to Shore: Thy anger, unappeasable, still rages, Eternal tempest never to be calm'd.

    Why do I humble thus my self, and suing [ ] For peace, reap nothing but repulse and hate? Bid go with evil omen and the brand Of infamy upon my name denounc't? To mix with thy concernments I desist Henceforth, nor too much disapprove my own. My name perhaps among the Circumcis'd [ ] In Dan, in Judah, and the bordering Tribes, To all posterity may stand defam'd , With malediction mention'd , and the blot Of falshood most unconjugal traduc't. But in my countrey where I most desire, [ ] In Ecron, Gaza, Asdod, and in Gath I shall be nam'd among the famousest Of Women, sung at solemn festivals, Living and dead recorded, who to save Her countrey from a fierce destroyer, chose [ ] Above the faith of wedlock-bands, my tomb With odours visited and annual flowers.

    Not less renown'd then in Mount Ephraim, Jael , who with inhospitable guile Smote Sisera sleeping through the Temples nail'd. At this who ever envies or repines [ ] I leave him to his lot, and like my own. She's gone, a manifest Serpent by her sting Discover'd in the end, till now conceal'd. So let her go, God sent her to debase me, And aggravate my folly who committed [ ] To such a viper his most sacred trust Of secresie , my safety, and my life. Yet beauty , though injurious, hath strange power, After offence returning, to regain Love once possest , nor can be easily [ ] Repuls't , without much inward passion felt And secret sting of amorous remorse.

    Love-quarrels oft in pleasing concord end, Not wedlock- trechery endangering life. It is not vertue , wisdom, valour , wit, [ ] Strength, comliness of shape, or amplest merit That womans love can win or long inherit; But what it is, hard is to say , Harder to hit, Which way soever men refer it [ ] Much like thy riddle , Samson, in one day Or seven, though one should musing sit;. If any of these or all, the Timnian bride Had not so soon preferr'd Thy Paranymph , worthless to thee compar'd , [ ] Successour in thy bed, Nor both so loosly disally'd Thir nuptials, nor this last so treacherously Had shorn the fatal harvest of thy head.

    Is it for that such outward ornament [ ] Was lavish't on thir Sex, that inward gifts Were left for haste unfinish't , judgment scant, Capacity not rais'd to apprehend Or value what is best In choice, but oftest to affect the wrong? What e're it be, to wisest men and best Seeming at first all heavenly under virgin veil , [ ] Soft, modest, meek, demure, Once join'd , the contrary she proves, a thorn Intestin , far within defensive arms A cleaving mischief, in his way to vertue Adverse and turbulent, or by her charms [ ] Draws him awry enslav'd With dotage, and his sense deprav'd To folly and shameful deeds which ruin ends.

    What Pilot so expert but needs must wreck Embarqu'd with such a Stears -mate at the Helm? Favour'd of Heav'n who finds One vertuous rarely found, That in domestic good combines: Happy that house! Therefore Gods universal Law Gave to the man despotic power Over his female in due awe, [ ] Nor from that right to part an hour, Smile she or lowre : So shall he least confusion draw On his whole life, not sway'd By female usurpation , nor dismay'd.

    Look now for no inchanting voice, nor fear [ ] The bait of honied words; a rougher tongue Draws hitherward, I know him by his stride, The Giant Harapha of Gath, his look Haughty as is his pile high-built and proud. Comes he in peace? His fraught we soon shall know, he now arrives.

    I come not Samson, to condole thy chance, As these perhaps, yet wish it had not been, Though for no friendly intent. Much I have heard Of thy prodigious might and feats perform'd Incredible to me, in this displeas'd , That I was never present on the place [ ] Of those encounters , where we might have tri'd Each others force in camp or listed field : And now am come to see of whom such noise Hath walk'd about, and each limb to survey, If thy appearance answer loud report. Dost thou already single me ; I thought Gives and the Mill had tam'd thee; O that fortune Had brought me to the field where thou art fam'd To have wrought such wonders with an Asses Jaw; [ ] I should have forc'd thee soon with other arms, Or left thy carkass where the Ass lay thrown: So had the glory of Prowess been recover'd To Palestine, won by a Philistine From the unforeskinn'd race , of whom thou bear'st [ ] The highest name for valiant Acts, that honour Certain to have won by mortal duel from thee, I lose, prevented by thy eyes put out.

    Boast not of what thou wouldst have done, but do What then thou would'st , thou seest it in thy hand. To combat with a blind man I disdain, And thou hast need much washing to be toucht. Such usage as your honourable Lords Afford me assassinated and betray'd , Who durst not with thir whole united powers [ ] In fight withstand me single and unarm'd , Nor in the house with chamber Ambushes Close-banded durst attaque me, no not sleeping, Till they had hir'd a woman with their gold Breaking her Marriage Faith to circumvent me.
