<p>As it fell out upon one day,<br>
Rich Div&egrave;s 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 Div&egrave;s&#8217; door:<br>
&#8220;Some meat and drink, brother, Diverus,<br>
Bestow upon the poor.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;Thou&#8217;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.&#8221;</p>
<p>Then Lazarus laid him down and down,<br>
All under Div&egrave;s&#8217; wall:<br>
&#8220;Some meat, some drink, brother Diverus,<br>
For hunger starve I shall.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;Thou&#8217;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.&#8221;</p>
<p>Then Div&egrave;s sent out his hungry dogs,<br>
To bite him as he lay;<br>
They hadn&#8217;t the power to bite one bite,<br>
But licked his sores away.</p>
<p>Then Div&egrave;s sent to his merry men,<br>
To worry poor Lazarus away;<br>
They&#8217;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>&#8220;Rise up! rise up! brother Lazarus,<br>
And go along with me;<br>
For you&#8217;ve a place prepared in heaven,<br>
To sit on an angel&#8217;s knee.&#8221;</p>
<p>As it fell out upon one day,<br>
Rich Div&egrave;s sickened and died;<br>
There came two serpents out of hell,<br>
His soul therein to guide.</p>
<p>&#8220;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.&#8221;</p>
<p>Then Div&egrave;s looked up with his eyes<br>
And saw poor Lazarus blest;<br>
&#8220;Give me one drop of water, brother Lazarus,<br>
To quench my flaming thirst.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;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.&#8221;</p>
