[The wicked may, through pride affect]

Herod feared John, &c. —vi. 20.

The wicked may, through pride affect
The good and righteous to respect,
While yet they no disturbance give,
And let them in their passions live.

But if a zealous preacher rise
And contradict their bosom-vice,
Vengeance his old admirers breathe,
And hurry him to bonds and death.
