The Friar Mendicant

Such as sit in Darkness, and in the Shadow of Death, being bound in Affliction and Iron.

Psalm cvii. 10.

Some Men, the World to circumvent
By Fraud and Falsehood try,
By feign’d Religion, Sin to hide
From ev’ry mortal Eye:

Of Piety an ardent love
They outwardly profess;
But inwardly they are the Sink
Of all Voluptuousness:

But when the End shall be at Hand,
They like Reward shall have,
And Death, by Myriads, shall mow down
The Wicked to the Grave.
