Where's the rustling of Silk and Satin now? where are the dainty bit•, the generous wines, and all the deceitful pleasures ⟨p. 158⟩of sin now? Alas! though they have no pity shown them, they will pity others, and wish that none might come into that place of torment; then they will cry out, oh sinful sin, oh devilish and hellish sin!
