Sweet home’s affections and delights, pass through

The fire of Moloch: Avarice at the shrine

Of greedy Mammon, gluts his eyes with gold:

Some to Renown bend low the obsequious knee,

Praying to be eternized by a blast

From her shrill trumpet: in the glittering halls

Of sensual Pleasure some sing songs, and bind

Their fair young brows with chaplets steeped in wine;

Though soon the chaplets turn to chains, the wines

To gall and wormwood, and the festal song
