Erratum

Mightily buoyed by cherished blood, Brazen struts laxest wit undeterred; And fair nobles her giddy vinos swill Oftener than mild sips of ironed skill. Sometimes charmed by gilded gold Slack sense glues tighter than truth, Icing to death the latter's warm hold, Though it be sharp as reptile’s tooth. Frequent wins heresy’s easy path Grand crystalline Heaven’s wrath, And fleeting mirths procured thus At last become unmitigated curse. Subtly hallowed by saint and priest Sneaks warped reason’s sliest gist, Oiled by figures on oaths deponed, Sentinels of truth in bold ink toned. Featherweight thinking finally weds Strictest law under unspoken knots; Neutering the former’s diabolic beds, Desecrating the other's stern courts.
