[What though a Sadducee maintain]

Herod . . . said, That John the Baptist was risen, &c. —vi. 14.

What though a Sadducee maintain
The soul doth with its body die,
The infidel believes again,
When conscience waked renews her cry,
Tormented by the saint oppress'd,
The tyrant must his judgment feel,
Nor can he in his palace rest
Who bears about him his own hell.
