[What could earth and hell do more]
The keepers before the door kept the prison.
—xii. 6.
What could earth and hell do more
Their prisoner to secure?
Let but a short night pass o'er
And Peter's death is sure;
Keepers, guards, and gates surround,
Yet cannot all effectual prove,
While one open way is found
Of rescue—from above.
