( 66 )
That hand, which spread your wisdom wide
to poison distant lands:
Repent, recant; the tainted age,
your antidote demands;
to poison distant lands:
Repent, recant; the tainted age,
your antidote demands;
To Satan dreadfully Resign'd
whole herds rush down the steep
Of folly, by lewd wits possess'd,
and perish in the deep.
whole herds rush down the steep
Of folly, by lewd wits possess'd,
and perish in the deep.
Men's praise your vanity pursues;
'tis well, pursue it still;
But let it be of men deceas'd,
and you'll resign the will;
'tis well, pursue it still;
But let it be of men deceas'd,
and you'll resign the will;
And how superior they to those
at whose applause you aim,
How very far superior They
in number, and in name?

How very far superior They
in number, and in name?
