Religion
Genesis 6:5: And dare we our perfection boast
From Short Hymns on Select Passages of the Holy Scriptures (1762) · Osborn ed., vol. 9 (1870)
Religion
And dare we our perfection boast?
With haughty Luciferian scorn
Deny our innocency lost,
As still in God's resemblance born?
Great Author of our second birth,
Give us, our fallen souls to feel
As godlike as the beasts on earth,
As perfect as the fiends in hell.
