INJUSTICE.

So foul a thing, O thou injustice art,

That torment'st the doer and distrest;

For when a man hath done a wicked part,

O how he strives to excuse—to make the best;

To shift the fault t' unburden his charg'd heart,

And glad to find the least surmise of rest;

And if he could make his, seem other's sin,

O what repose, what ease he'd find therein.

DANIELL.
