Religion
1 Corinthians 6:10: See, thou wretched slave accurst
From Short Hymns on Select Passages of the Holy Scriptures (1762) · Osborn ed., vol. 13 (1872)
Religion
See, thou wretched slave accurst,
The end of thy excess,
Drunkenness annex'd to thirst,
And hell to drunkenness!
Plunged in that infernal pool,
How wilt thou gnaw thy tongue in pain,
Water want thy tongue to cool,
And ask a drop—in vain!
