The red-lipped morn rose fresh; and everywhereThe sunbeams welcome found, save one,Which fluttered through the close-barred windows whereThe gambling wretches, who the daylight shun,With red wine flushed, and eyes bloodshot and red,Wearied my first. Again, and yet again,They the uncertain tide of fortune fedWith gold ill-gotten, other gold to gain.Oh, what a ruin here! of God’s most noble work,Of life’s great end, and of the deathless soul!

With gold ill-gotten, other gold to gain.

Of life’s great end, and of the deathless soul!
