[The servant of unbridled lust]
Herod himself had sent forth and laid, &c.
—vi. 17.
The servant of unbridled lust
Is always cruel and unjust:
His idol, if for blood she cries,
He gluts with human sacrifice;
And left his measure to fulfil,
To persecute the saints and kill,
He rushes on with conscience sear'd,
And murders whom he once revered.
