Already brought to ruin and confusion,

Whose souls are now reserv'd in iron chains,

Under thick darkness to Eternal Pains!

They thought of many years, as thou dost now,

But were deceivéd quite, and so may'st thou.

Oh! then, my friend, waste not away thy time,

Nor by rebellion aggravate thy crime.

Oh! put not off Repentance till to-morrow,

Adventure not, without God's leave, to borrow

Another day to spend upon thy lust,
