[Wilt thou in that bloody place]

Wilt thou go up to Jerusalem, and there be, &c. —xxv. 9.

Wilt thou in that bloody place
Before the elders stand,
Tempt the persecuting race,
The sworn assassin band?

418

There the hellish spirit maintains
His court to after ages known,
There the ancient murderer reigns,
As on his favourite throne.
