[How soon alas the selfish sin]
Ananias, with Sapphira...sold a possession, &c.
—v. 1, 2.
How soon alas the selfish sin
The love of property comes in,
While man from God withholds a part,
Yet seems to give Him all his heart!
Deceived the' Omniscient cannot be
By avarice and hypocrisy,
Who lurking under love's disguise
Present detested sacrifice.
