William Cowper - Lines Written During A Period Of InsanityWilliam Cowper - Lines Written During A Period Of Insanity
Work rating: Low


Hatred and vengence--my eternal portion Scarce can endure delay of execution-- Wait with impatient readiness to seize my Soul in a moment. Damned below Judas; more abhorred than he was, Who for a few pence sold his holy Master! Twice betrayed, Jesus me, the last delinquent, Deems the profanest. Man disavows, and Deity disowns me: Hell might afford my miseries a shelter; Therefore Hell keeps her ever-hungry mouths all Bolted against me. Hard lot! encompassed with a thousand dangers; Weary, faint, trembling with a thousand terrors, I`m called, if vanquished, to receive a sentence Worse than Abiram`s. Him the vindictive rod of angry Justice Sent quick and howling to the centre headlong; I, fed with judgment, in a fleshy tomb am Buried above ground.
