NECESSARY OBSERVATIONS: 26TH PRECEPT, by THOMAS RANDOLPH Poet Analysis Poet's Biography First Line: So live with man as if god's curious eye Last Line: That must alone both judge and jury be? Subject(s): Sin | |||
So live with man as if God's curious eye Did everywhere into thine actions pry; For never yet was sin so void of sense, So fully fac'd with brazen impudence, As that it durst before men's eyes commit Their beastly lusts, lest men should witness it. How dare they then offend, when God shall see, That must alone both judge and jury be? | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...SEVEN STREAMS OF NEVIS by GALWAY KINNELL CHANEL NO. 5 by LAURE-ANNE BOSSELAAR BROTHERS: 4.
