Tarry, O tarry, lest thine heedless hasteHurry thee headlong unto hell at last: See, see, thine hearts already half-way there;Those gloomy shadows that encompass it,Are the vast confines of th infernal pit. O stay; and if thou lovst not light, yet fearThat fatal darkness, whereSuch danger doth appear.
