Religion
Matthew 25:25: And I was afraid, and wait, and hid thy, &c
From Short Hymns on Select Passages of the Holy Scriptures (1762) · Osborn ed., vol. 10 (1871)
Religion
How base the inconsistent fear
Of him that doth his talent hide!
He dreads a reckoning more severe,
Yet dares in ignorance abide:
Neglectful of his Lord's commands,
He aims at doing good to none,
And not till death he understands
That sloth and wickedness are one.
