Mark 6:28: Can one of the soft gentle kind
From Short Hymns on Select Passages of the Holy Scriptures (1762) · Osborn ed., vol. 10 (1871)
Can one of the soft gentle kind.
With timorous bashfulness endued
Her joy in hellish murder find,
A prophet's head that swims in blood
View with unnatural delight,
And feast her vengeance on the sight?
Who with the smallest act begin
May still go on, from bad to worse,
Rise to its most gigantic sin,
The sin his nature most abhors,
And one who can his God forget
Can every other crime commit.
