Acts 26:25: A magistrate corrupt and lewd

A magistrate corrupt and lewd,
A sinner wallowing in his blood,
He seizes by the word;
And while his conscience he awakes,
The judge before the prisoner quakes,
And feels the two-edged sword.

He feels the' anticipated fear
Of sinners when the trump they hear.
And see the Judge come down,
When on the melting rocks they call,
And bid the burning mountains fall
To hide them from His frown.

The Heathen dreads His righteous doom,
The Jewess slights the wrath to come,
Partaker of his sin,
She sleeps in forms insensible,
Till the wide opening mouth of hell
Vesuvius takes her in.
