Here you may see, if you survey the Nation,
Our Youth grown old in vile abomination:
Such early Graduates in the Hellish Science,
Setting both Heaven and Hell at loud defiance.
Let Grace and Virtue grovel in the Dust,
Let Grace and Vertue grovel in the Dust,
Their Youth and Strength they'll sacrifice to Lust.
