[One, by his hellish father taught]

The devil saith, It is written. —iv. 6.

One, by his hellish father taught,
May take the tempter's place,
(His head with Scripture notions fraught,
His mouth with Scripture phrase,)
May carry on the fiend's design
The faithful to pervert,
And talk in language most Divine,
With Satan in his heart.
