Its purity can overthrow and all its good deflower!
Disguise the truth as best we can, he errs the most who most is Man!
Come, let us take a journey, with cathode rays supplied,
And view the greatest and good in all their pomp and pride!
Examine first the churches, where the godly crew
Teach poor erring mortals what is best to do.
They tell us human nature is once and always wrong,
And prove man's deep depravity in sermon or by song.
All natural passion is denounced as deep and deadly sin,
And truth and virtue painted as graces hard to win.
