And 'bide his Vengeance, let him do his worst?
Oh! who can bear his indignation's heat?
Or 'bide the pains of Hell which are so great?
If, then, thou neither canst his Wrath endure,
Nor any ransom after death procure;
If neither Cries nor Tears can move his heart
To pardon thee or mitigate thy smart,
But unto Hell thou must perforce be sent,
With dismal horror and astonishment,
Consider, O my Friend, what cause thou hast,
