To turn a willing world from righteous ways!

Well, Heydegger, dost thou thy master serve;

Well has he seen his servant should not starve,

Thou to his name hast splendid temples raised

In various forms of worship seen him prais'd,

Gaudy devotion, like a Roman, shown,

And sung sweet anthems in a tongue unknown.

Inferior offerings to thy god of vice

Are duly paid, in fiddles, cards, and dice;

Thy sacrifice supreme, an hundred maids!
