FALSE REPENTANCE.

By Quarles

Can sackcloth clothe a fault or hide a shame? Or do thy hands make Heaven a recompense, By strewing dust upon thy briny mouth? No! though thou pine thyself with willing want, Or face look thin, or carcass ue'er so guant, Such holy madness God rejects and loathes That sinks no deeper than the skin or clothes.
—Quarles.
