896.

[In flattery nursed, the lawless great]

John had said unto Herod, It is not lawful, &c. —vi. 18.

In flattery nursed, the lawless great
A man of rigid virtue hate,
Who faithfully the truth declares,
And neither sin nor sinner spares;
Who no respect of persons knows,
No incense on the gods bestows,
And bold rebukes the royal vice,
And martyr'd for his conscience dies.
