Heav’n is unjust, you must agree;

Why all to him? why none to me?

In spite of what the Scripture teaches,

In spite of all the parson preaches,

This world (indeed I’ve thought so long)

Is rul’d, methinks, extremely wrong.

Where’er I look, howe’er I range,

’Tis all confus’d, and hard, and strange;

The good are troubled and oppress’d,

And all the wicked are the bless’d.”
