[Why is he doom'd to endless pain?]
Son, remember that thou in thy lifetime, &c.
—xvi. 25.
Why is he doom'd to endless pain?
Did he by fraud his wealth obtain?
No; but the blessings given
On his rich neighbours he bestow'd,
Enjoy'd himself instead of God,
And sought no other heaven.
Did he by fraud his wealth obtain?
No; but the blessings given
On his rich neighbours he bestow'd,
Enjoy'd himself instead of God,
And sought no other heaven.
He had the happiness he chose,
Sensual delight and soft repose,
Magnificence and fame:
And who from earth their joys receive
Their joys they soon, like him, shall leave
For that eternal flame.
