John 11: The slave of fashionable sin
From Short Hymns on Select Passages of the Holy Scriptures (1762) · Osborn ed., vol. 11 (1871)
Religion
The slave of fashionable sin,
Who spends his life in pleasures vain,
Specious without, but foul within,
Oftensive both to God and man
The pestilent example gives.
Is dead, and stinks, while yet he lives.
