And crush the worm through all its slime of song. Abhorred the plea by every honest heart, That talent shall protect the vicious part ! That man shall be admired, though worthless still. Because he may be better if he will. The weak mai/ fall, the ignorant offend. And Pity's tear lament their hapless end; 14 A SKETCH FROM PUBLIC LIFE. But when the strong are vile, the great are base, Derision and contempt their steps shall chase ; Yes ! they may fly ! but Scorn's pursuing hand Shall follow them... through every distant land Food for the worm of Hate, the quenchless fire Of Conscience rack them, never to expire* ! Doubly enduring shall their tortures last, A fearful future, and a misspent past ; Perverted powers shall haunt their troubled sleep Common the crime ! their condemnation deep ! Unpitying indignation load their life With bitter misery, and ceaseless strife ; Thus shall they live, and wish in vain to die, Scorched in the burning sun of infamy + ! * " Where the worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched.
