Till food and wine again should renovate his powers:

Yet, spite of all defence, of every aid,

The watchful Foe her close attention paid;

In every thoughtful moment on she press’d,

And gave at once her dagger to his breast;

He waked at midnight, and the fears of sin,

As waters through a bursten dam, broke in;

Nay, in the banquet, with his friends around,

When all their cares and half their crimes were drown’d,

Would some chance act awake the slumbering fear,
