WRATH by MARY MARGARET DENNING

First Line: WEAK NATURE,TO ALLOW HIS PASSION'S WEIGHT
Last Line: AND HURLS IT DEEPER, DEEPER IN DISGRACE.
Weak nature, to allow his passion's weight
To prey upon the proud gift of free will,
To force rebelling judgment to place hate
Upon calm's lofty, reserved pedestal;
To cast all prudence to the breast of earth,
And fling his sense of shame to utter space,
About his soul cruel fury forms a girth
And hurls it deeper, deeper in disgrace.
