[The ball, the feast, the flowing bowl]

When Herod's birthday was kept, the, &c. —xiv. 6.

The ball, the feast, the flowing bowl,
Do they not still ensnare the soul,
The passions fatally incite,
Poison the heart with vain delight,
The unsuspicious guests draw in,
Till partners of another's sin,
They quite throw off remorse and shame,
And mangle every virtuous name.
