Luke 16:27, 28: Is there benevolence in hell
From Short Hymns on Select Passages of the Holy Scriptures (1762) · Osborn ed., vol. 11 (1871)
Is there benevolence in hell?
Or can the damn'd compassion feel
At their associates' doom?
No: but an epicure below
May dread a huge increase of woe
When his associates come.
How will he their reproaches bear,
Who spread his table for a snare,
Taught them to scorn the poor.
Made them in all his crimes partake,
And left them all his goods to make
Their swift damnation sure?
