Mark 14: How stubborn the presumptuous man
From Short Hymns on Select Passages of the Holy Scriptures (1762) · Osborn ed., vol. 11 (1871)
How stubborn the presumptuous man.
So bhnd, so sure he cannot fall!
How swift the fatal mischief ran,
While Peter's bane infects them all.
To sin the sacred college leads.
And pride through every bosom spreads.
They promise all, seduced by one,
Freedom, or life itself to save.
The Lord they never will disown;
But who the dire example gave
Left to himself, and viosi secure,
He only doth his Lord abjure.
