|
<p>As it fell out upon one day,<br>
|
|
Rich Divès made a feast,<br>
|
|
And he invited all his friends,<br>
|
|
And gentry of the best.</p>
|
|
<p>Then Lazarus laid him down and down<br>
|
|
And down at Divès’ door:<br>
|
|
“Some meat and drink, brother, Diverus,<br>
|
|
Bestow upon the poor.”</p>
|
|
<p>“Thou’rt none of my brothers, Lazarus,<br>
|
|
That liest begging at my door;<br>
|
|
No meat, nor drink will I give thee,<br>
|
|
Nor bestow upon the poor.”</p>
|
|
<p>Then Lazarus laid him down and down,<br>
|
|
All under Divès’ wall:<br>
|
|
“Some meat, some drink, brother Diverus,<br>
|
|
For hunger starve I shall.”</p>
|
|
<p>“Thou’rt none of my brothers, Lazarus,<br>
|
|
That liest begging at my gate;<br>
|
|
No meat, no drink will I give thee,<br>
|
|
For Jesus Christ His sake.”</p>
|
|
<p>Then Divès sent out his hungry dogs,<br>
|
|
To bite him as he lay;<br>
|
|
They hadn’t the power to bite one bite,<br>
|
|
But licked his sores away.</p>
|
|
<p>Then Divès sent to his merry men,<br>
|
|
To worry poor Lazarus away;<br>
|
|
They’d not the power to strike one stroke,<br>
|
|
But flung their whips away.</p>
|
|
<p>As it fell out upon one day,<br>
|
|
Poor Lazarus sickened and died;<br>
|
|
There came two angels out of heaven,<br>
|
|
His soul therein to guide.</p>
|
|
<p>“Rise up! rise up! brother Lazarus,<br>
|
|
And go along with me;<br>
|
|
For you’ve a place prepared in heaven,<br>
|
|
To sit on an angel’s knee.”</p>
|
|
<p>As it fell out upon one day,<br>
|
|
Rich Divès sickened and died;<br>
|
|
There came two serpents out of hell,<br>
|
|
His soul therein to guide.</p>
|
|
<p>“Rise up! rise up! brother Diverus,<br>
|
|
And come along with me;<br>
|
|
There is a place provided in hell<br>
|
|
For wicked men like thee.”</p>
|
|
<p>Then Divès looked up with his eyes<br>
|
|
And saw poor Lazarus blest;<br>
|
|
“Give me one drop of water, brother Lazarus,<br>
|
|
To quench my flaming thirst.”</p>
|
|
<p>“O, was I now but alive again<br>
|
|
The space of one half hour!<br>
|
|
O, that I had my peace again<br>
|
|
Then the devil should have no power.”</p>
