3^1 Even as I speak, behold, with plaintive eyes What sorrowing phantoms rise !
That superstition, hid behind the cloak Of pious duty, and, in God's" own name, Struck with its deadly stroke.
See, there ! that peaceful Quaker band That, from their hearth and home, and land, Sharp persecution drove.
To whom our fathers stretched no Christian hauc^ Of favor, grace, or love.
And that even sadder, darker group behold !
Fair maidens, children iji the first fresh bloom Of their young life, old raen an...d matrons old, Tottering upon the threshold of the tonib.
"What was thejr crime ? their cruel doom ?
Ah, well may we uplift our eyes In sorrow aod surprise !
These are the devil's wretched brood, That expiated with their blood The crime of witchcraft, and foul sorceries, (13) XII Sad is the sight : let us avert our gaze.
And yet most sad for this, that through the maze Of all this tangled skein of cruelties, Blindly astray, threading the bigot way The clue of virtue lies.
Narrow of mind they were, and short of sight, And still to duty true.
