Grim-hearted world, that look'st with Levite eyes

On those poor fallen by too much faith in man, 330

She that upon thy freezing threshold lies,

Starved to more sinning by thy savage ban,

Seeking that refuge because foulest vice

More godlike than thy virtue is, whose span

Shuts out the wretched only, is more free

To enter heaven than thou shalt ever be!
