IX.

Unmov'd alone the virtuous now appear,
And in their looks a calm assurance wear,
Nor hell, nor all its horrors fear.
From east, from west, from north and south they come,
To take from the most righteous judge their doom;
Who thus, to them, with a serene regard;
(The books of life before him laid,
And all the secret records wide display'd)
‘According to your works be your reward;
‘As my reproach and cross you did not fear,
‘To men and angels I approve you here;
‘Possess immortal kingdoms as your due,
‘Prepar'd from an eternal date for you.’
