Yet even the Chosen of God were not exempt
From that same stern, inexorable law
Of Death for Sin!—how often did they tempt
His anger, and upon their children draw
The wrath His ever-watchful love foresaw?—
Warn'd by the mouth of Prophets, Priests, and Kings,
Still clave they to their vain imaginings!
