[The most apostate spirit below]
Thou knewest not the time of thy visitation.
—xix. 44.
The most apostate spirit below
Amidst his torments shall confess
His season he refused to know
When visited by saving grace:
This, sinner, makes the hell of hell,
Thou might'st have lived on earth forgiven,
Consign'd to flames unquenchable
Thou might'st have gain'd the joys of heaven.
