When I the bold become of all abhorr'd

When I the bold become of all abhorr'd. Their words are vain and full and full of guile; they wisdome from their hearts their hearts exile; forsaken Virtue hate. Who mischief on their beds contrive, and vices propagate. Let not the feet of pride of pride defeat, nor such as are in mischief in mischief great my guiltless Soul surprise. The workers of Iniquitie are falne are falne like Meteors from the skie, cast down, cast down, no more to rise.

George Sandys.
