2 Unless he do his sins forego, And speedily repent, He'll whet his Sword, and string his Bow, He hath it ready bent.
3 His deadly Darts he doth ordain To smite him unawares; And for the Persecutors pain Sharp Arrows he prepares.
4 He made a Pit, in digging which No pains at all he spared; And fell he is into the Ditch Which he himself prepared.
4 He made a Pit, in digging which No pains at all he spar'd; And fell he is into the Ditch Which he himself prepar'd.
5 Upon his own unhappy Crown His mischief shall be spread; His violent dealings shall come down, And light on his own head.
