English poem
Lii. [47]
by Michael Wigglesworth (1631–1705)
The glorious Judge will privilege nor Emperor nor King; But every one that hath misdone doth unto judgment bring. And every one that hath misdone, the Judge impartially Condemneth to eternal woe, and endless misery.
LIII.
Thus one and all, thus great and small, the Rich as well as Poor, And those of place, as the most base, do stand the Judge before. They are arraign’d, and there detain’d before Christ’s Judgment seat, With trembling fear their Doom to hear, and feel his Anger’s heat.
