Alas ! alas ! too often conscience sleeps,
When pleasure's syren numbers lull its rest.—


Canto II, VIII - The Fate of Adelaide (1821)


Alas ! alas ! too often conscience sleeps, When pleasure's syren numbers lull its rest.—

Alas ! alas ! too often conscience sleeps, When pleasure's syren numbers lull its rest.—

Alas ! alas ! too often conscience sleeps, When pleasure's syren numbers lull its rest.—

Alas ! alas ! too often conscience sleeps, When pleasure's syren numbers lull its rest.—
