 | The Priest Dissected |  |
Out to the realms of light—I'll speak thy name—
Thou dy'st a victim to my injur'd fame—
Heav'ns!—when I point my vengeance at his heart,—
Soft mercy pleads—and checks my trembling dart;
Oh! what can hold such conflict in the mind,
As generous pity, with resentment join'd!
Thou dy'st a victim to my injur'd fame—
Heav'ns!—when I point my vengeance at his heart,—
Soft mercy pleads—and checks my trembling dart;
Oh! what can hold such conflict in the mind,
As generous pity, with resentment join'd!
