VENGEANCE.

When man begins to persecute a man,
Or be it woman, he will no difference
scan,
His vengeance burns like fire of hell
set on;
To damn his brother, his own soul will
pawn.
He prays that all the powers OF dark
ness come;
On heaven he calls to I'LL the mighty
sum,
OF vengeance he'd pour on his fellow
man,
Whose prayer doth but his cruel ven-
geance fan.
Oh, man how brute-like after all thy
pride,
Who prays that God will blessings aye
provide
For thine own head, but damn thine
enemies,
And all but fiendish vengeance in thee
dies.
Vengeance is miner' thus saith the
Lords command,
"I will have vengeance now by mine
own hand !"
The voice of feeble man cries forth
aloud,
81 will have vengeance now or else a
shroud."
