94. On Atheists.

Audacious Atheists to the world proclaim,
They love such deeds, as might the De'il shame
Atheists are worse then Devils; Devils do
Believe there is a God, and tremble too;
Those say, there is no God, who doth take care
Of things below, have neither faith nor fear.
The Devil quakes at the Day of Judgment; they
Deride it, which will shortly them dismay.
Strange! ev'n the Sons their sire in sins excell;
What! Atheists here on Earth, when none in Hell.
