As all men know, and therefore must believe;

This vengeance pour'd on nations ripe in guilt,

Pour'd on them here, where only they exist,

What is it but an argument of sense,

Or rather demonstration, to support

Our feeble faith—"That they who states compose,

That men who stand not bounded by the grave,

Shall meet like measure at their proper hour?"

For God is equal, similarly deals

With states and persons, or he were not God!
