Mark 6:18: In flattery nursed, the lawless great
From Short Hymns on Select Passages of the Holy Scriptures (1762) · Osborn ed., vol. 10 (1871)
Religion
In flattery nursed, the lawless great
A man of rigid virtue hate.
Who faithfully the truth declares.
And neither sin nor sinner spares;
Who no respect of persons knows,
No incense on the. gods bestows,
And bold rebukes the royal vice.
And martyr'd for his conscience dies.
