That all others endure who live under the name.

No escape, little creature!

No escape under heaven! Can man treat you worse

After God has laid on you his infinite curse?

The heaviest burden of sorrow you win

Cannot weigh with the load of original sin;

No shame be too black for the cowering face

Of her who brought shame to the whole human race!

No escape under heaven!

Yet you feel, being human. You shrink from the pain
