This dramatic poem deals with the last phase in the life of the Samson mentioned in the Book of Judges; he is blind and a prisoner of the Philistines. In prison he is visited by various people, including his scheming wife, Dalila. He is finally summoned to provide amusement by feats of strength for the Philistine lords with disasterous consequences for all.
