CHAPTER XXIV. The poetical works of John and Charles Wesley | ||
2944.
[How soon a miser's fears are past]
Wherefore he sent for him the oftener, &c.
—xxiv. 26.
How soon a miser's fears are past,
How transient his remorse within!
Pangs of repentance cannot last
While Felix cherishes his sin:
The love of gold and beastly vice
Destroys the work but just begun,
It stops his ears, puts out his eyes,
And turns again his heart to stone.
