[underlined: On the common I weep]

Of all the fools with which our nature's cur'st Down sinks the [underlined: Swearer] far beneath the worst Search earth & hell for fools of ev'ry kind In highest class you will the Swearer find

                   2

When the grand injur'd Ruler of the skies Shall in his majesty to Judgment rise; Then fool of fools the swearer shall be found, And vengeance with his guilty head surround!

                    3

If there's no Judgment nor no Deity, Yet where are fools so great as swearers be To call on God to damn -- by him to swear, then there is no God, nor yet a Hell to fear,

                    4

His folly's proof; for none on wisdom's list, Will curse & swear by that wch don't exist; If there's a God, his madness is extreme, To tempt his ire, and yet of mercy dream!

                 5

Think ye, O Fools! insulted Majesty Will pass unnoticed your profaness by? Be not deceived - for wrath on such must fall, Tis justified [illeg.] who for damnation call.
