No evil is therein - no wrinkle, spot,
Stain, blame, or blemish: - I affirm there’s not.
“All this you know - now mark what once befell,
With grief I bore it, and with shame I tell:
I was entrapp’d - yes, so it came to pass,
’Mid heathen rebels, a tumultuous class;
Each to his country bore a hellish mind,
Each like his neighbour was of cursed kind;
The land that nursed them, they blasphemed; the laws,
Their sovereign’s glory, and their country’s cause:
