[Sinner in love with guilty joys]

It is better for thee to enter into life maimed, &c. —ix. 43.

Sinner in love with guilty joys,
Compute while here thy final gain,
The pleasure of a moment poise
With an eternity of pain:
And, if in love with hell thou art,
Persist thy lusts to gratify,
Refuse with a right hand to part,
And choose the second death to die.
