Shall be, by all, or suffered, or enjoyed.

William Mason.

Whoe’er thou art, this truth take home,—and think

Two spirits only for thy soul contend,—

The good and bad; but now alone is grace

Imparted; soon thy final sands will fall,

And thou in moral nakedness shalt be

To Devil or to Deity assign’d

Through endless ages!—Oh, that truth immense,

This mortal, immortality shall wear!
