[Long forms of prayer ye say]

Woe unto you, Scribes and Pharisees, &c. —xxiii. 14.

Long forms of prayer ye say,
As purposed heaven to buy,
And challenge as your lawful prey
What should the poor supply:
Or lull'd in slothful ease
In honours, pomp, and power,
The church's patrimony seize
And greedily devour.
Insatiate still for more
Ye heap up treasures here;
Ye heap up wrath in larger store
And vengeance more severe.
Ye cast your God behind,
Your souls to Mammon sell,
And at your last translation find
The highest seats in hell.
