And where's the tongue that could conceal

The sense that virtue had withstood

Such specious efforts to delude!

Quæ Genus the sensation felt

That bade repenting thoughts to melt;

Nay, he e'en cast his eyes to Heaven,

With doubts that he should be forgiven

For having listen'd to deceit

And almost yielded to the cheat,

Whose principles had he obey'd
