THE CAUSE AND EFFECT COEVAL.
The Cause continued, the Effect's the same;Yet 'tis not this, but that which is to blame:
At least that most, tho' this in time may be
The same with that, as here we plainly see:
The Cause your sin, the Effect is your distress,
Which, tho' you mourn, makes not your sin the less.
