“These rugged walls less grievous are to me,Than those bedeck'd with curious arras beT'a guilty conscience; to a wounded heart,A palace cannot palliate that smart:Tho' drunk with pleasure, dull with opiates,Some seem as senseless of their sad estates,Till on their dying-beds conscience awakes.But tho' the righteous be in bonds confin'd,They inwardly sweet satisfaction find.”
