Loudly convinces, and severely pains.

Dark demons I discharge, and hydra-stings;

The keen vibration of bright truth—is hell:

Just definition! though by schools untaught.

Ye deaf to truth! peruse this parson’d page, 840

And trust, for once, a prophet, and a priest;

“Men may live fools, but fools they cannot die.”

THE RELAPSE.


TO THE RIGHT HONOURABLE
THE EARL OF LICHFIELD.
