Versos English Michael Wigglesworth Ccxviii. [177]

English poem

Ccxviii. [177]

by (1631–1705)

Listen in the reader

Thus shall they lie and wail and cry,   tormented and tormenting; Their galled hearts with poison’d darts,   but now too late repenting. There let them dwell in th’ Flames of Hell:   there leave we them to burn, And back again unto the men   whom Christ acquits, return.

The Saints rejoice to see the Judgment executed upon the Wicked World.
