This harrass'd, sore, his philosophic Sense,
But aching Conscience felt much more offence,
To see so many Souls' immortal Pow'rs
Urg'd hard to labour thro' those holy hours—
Such Pow'rs, all capable of bliss, sublime;
So sacrific'd to things of Sense and Time;
While all those mental Pow'rs should find employ,
To fit them for that bliss Heav'n's hosts enjoy!
Compell'd to occupy such carnal Posts,
In lieu of worshipping the Lord of Hosts;
Merely that Troops of Epicures might taste,
Pernicious pleasures, of an hour's repast!
