[The woe of the False Teacher—This]

The woe of the False Teacher—This:
The better he is, the worse he is;
His every virtue being a prop
Of the foul tyrant, Dogmatism,
Foe to mankind, that soon would drop
Into his native black abysm
Did merely ill men hold him up.
Through thee, Good Man, through thee, I say,
The Devil rules the world to-day.
