JOSEPH AND HIS BRETHREN,

A SCRIPTURAL DRAMA;

IN TWO ACTS.

BY

H. L. HOWARD.

"

The Devil spoke,

**** well you know

How many ages, as the years of men,

This universe we have possessed; and ruled,
In manner at our will, the affairs of earth,

Since Adam and his facile consort Eve

Lost Paradise, deceived by me; though since
With dread attending, when that fatal wound
Shall be inflicted by the seed of Eve
Upon my head."

"But if there be in glory aught of good,
It may by means far different be attained;
Without ambition, war, or violence,
By deeds of peace, by wisdom eminent,
By patience, temperance."-MILTON.
