Remorse

Bernard Gilbert

Pierce you another, pleasure bent, Or wound the helpless innocent; The Holy Ghost shall not relent. Beyond the tortured body's cry

Dread is the mind's dull misery; Remorse, the worm, can never die. ‘ Oh to repay it,’ Judas saith: Who robs the innocent of breath,

Certain shall live to welcome death.
