24.

The Worldling, TEMPTER of himself, pursues
Idols of his own making; ideot's views;
(Unhappy wretch! wrapt up in thin disguise!
Where All that is not impious, is unwise!)
50

See, how he broods from night to morning's dawn,
On eggs of basilisks, and scorpion-spawn :
And, after all the care he can impart,
His foster'd miscreants sting him to the heart;
Swift thro' each vein the mystic poisons roul,
Fatal alike to body and to soul !
 

Isaiah C. lix, V. 4.

Matth. C. x, V. 28.
