[Whoe'er for sensual pleasures burn]

The multitude fell a lusting and said, &c. —xi. 4.

Whoe'er for sensual pleasures burn,
Or wish their lusts to gratify,
Back in their hearts to Egypt turn,
And basely for the fleshpots sigh;
And such, without repentance, shall
Death's victims in the desert fall.
