Excerpt from Complete Works of Rev. Thomas Smyth, D.D, Vol. 6 The sceptre shall not depart from Judah, Nor a lawgiver from between his feet, Until he come to shiloh. And to him the expectation Of nations. Binding to the vine his colt, And to the ivy-vine the foal of his ass, He washes in wine his garment, And in the blood of grapes his raiment. Darker his eyes than wine. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
