from Works and Days
[Age of Iron]
Revenge and Rapine shall Respect command,
The pious, just, and good, neglected stand.
The wicked shall the better Man distress,
The righteous suffer, and without Redress;
Strict Honesty, and naked Truth, shall fail,
The perjur'd Villain, in his Arts, prevail.
Hoarse Envy shall, unseen, exert her Voice,
Attend the wretched, and in Ill rejoyce.
Justice and Modesty at length do fly,
Rob'd their fair Limbs in white, and gain the Sky;
From the wide Earth they reach the bless'd Abodes,
And join the grand Assembly of the Gods;
While wretched Men, abandon'd to their Grief,
Sink in their Sorrows, hopeless of Relief.
