On heaven’s broad hearth! who burn, or burn no more,
Who blaze, or die, as Great Jehovah’s breath
Or blows you, or forbears; assist my song;
Pour your whole influence; exorcise his heart,
So long possess’d; and bring him back to man.
And is Lorenzo a demurrer still?
Pride in thy parts provokes thee to contest
Truths, which, contested, put thy parts to shame.
Nor shame they more Lorenzo’s head than heart,
A faithless heart, how despicably small! 1370
