['Tis thus our fierce unrighteous foes]
If He were not a malefactor, we would, &c.
—xviii. 30.
'Tis thus our fierce unrighteous foes

Guilty of blackest crimes suppose,
And drag us to the bar:
The tedious forms of justice vain
They furiously pass by,
Pronounce us impious and profane,
And judge before they try.
