English poem
Clxxxviii. [153]
by Michael Wigglesworth (1631–1705)
The Judge is strong, doers of wrong cannot his pow’r withstand; None can by flight run out of sight, nor ’scape out of his hand. Sad is their state; for Advocate, to plead thei cause, there’s none; None to prevent their punishment, or mis’ry to bemoan.
