Numbers 11:4: Whoe'er for sensual pleasures burn
From Short Hymns on Select Passages of the Holy Scriptures (1762) · Osborn ed., vol. 9 (1870)
Religion
Whoe'er for sensual pleasures burn,
Or wish their lusts to gratify,
Back in their hearts to Egypt turn,
And basely for the fleshpots sigh;
And such, without repentance, shall
Death's victims in the desert fall.
