If ever thou hast loved thy dog or horse, Or other favourite affectionate thing, If thou dost recognise in God the source Of all that live, their Father and their King, Stand with us on this rescue;--for the force Of sciolists hath legal right to seize Such innocents to torture as they please, Alive and sentient, with demoniac skill; Ungodly men! hot with the lawless lust Of violating Nature's holiest fane, Breaking it open at your wicked will,-- Yet shall ye tremble!--for the Judge is just; To Him those victims do not plead in vain, On you for æons crowd their hours of pain.
