CXXXVI.

_Christus in Aegypto._ Matt. ii. 19-21.

Hunc tu, Nile, tuis majori flumine monstra;

Hunc, nimis ignotum, dic caput esse tibi.

Jam tibi, Nile, tumes; jam te quoque multus inunda:

Ipse tuae jam sis laetitiae fluvius.

_Christ in Egypt._

With prouder stream, Nile, show Him to thine own;

Call Him thy fountain-head, too little known:

Now swelling for thyself, thyself o'erflow;

And with its own joy let thy current glow. R. WI.
