CHAPTER XXIV. The poetical works of John and Charles Wesley | ||
2945.
[In vain of temperance he heard]
Felix, willing to shew the Jews a pleasure, &c.
—xxiv. 27.
In vain of temperance he heard,
And judgment for a moment fear'd,
Who held his idols in his heart,
Nor would with the adulteress part,
Nor would a suffering saint release,
But fill'd with all unrighteousness
Appeased his foes at the expense
Of injured, helpless innocence.
