English poem
Ccviii. [168]
by Michael Wigglesworth (1631–1705)
Whom having brought as they are taught, unto the brink of Hell, (That dismal place, far from Christ’s face, where Death and Darkness dwell, Where God’s fierce Ire kindleth the fire, and vengeance feeds the flame. With piles of Wood and Brimstone Flood, so none can quench the same,)
Wicked men and Devils cast into it forever.
