On a Marble Piece Representing Christ Bound to a Pillar. Translated from the Italian but Somewhat Altered

Translated from the Italian, but somewhat altered.

Marble the pillar; marble he that's bound;
Marble the officers that guard him round:
Marble by nature that; by patience he;
And these by unrelenting cruelty.
Spectator, melt in tears: or at this view,
Wonder will turn thee into marble too.
