Mark 6:17: The servant of unbridled lust
From Short Hymns on Select Passages of the Holy Scriptures (1762) · Osborn ed., vol. 10 (1871)
Religion
The servant of unbridled lust
Is always cruel and unjust:
His idol, if for blood she cries.
He gluts with human sacrifice;
And left his measure to fulfil.
To persecute the saints and kill.
He rushes on with conscience sear'd,
And murders whom he once revered.
