As It Fell Out Upon One Day,
Rich Dive S Made A Feast,
And He Invited All His Friends,
And Gentry Of The Best.
Then Lazarus Laid Him Down And Down
And Down At Dive S’ Door:
“Some Meat And Drink, Brother, Diverus,
Bestow Upon The Poor.”
“Thou’rt None Of My Brothers, Lazarus,
That Liest Begging At My Door;
No Meat, Nor Drink Will I Give Thee,
Nor Bestow Upon The Poor.”
Then Lazarus Laid Him Down And Down,
All Under Dive S’ Wall:
“Some Meat, Some Drink, Brother Diverus,
For Hunger Starve I Shall.”
“Thou’rt None Of My Brothers, Lazarus,
That Liest Begging At My Gate;
No Meat, No Drink Will I Give Thee,
For Jesus Christ His Sake.”
Then Dive S Sent Out His Hungry Dogs,
To Bite Him As He Lay;
They Hadn’t The Power To Bite One Bite,
But Licked His Sores Away.
Then Dive S Sent To His Merry Men,
To Worry Poor Lazarus Away;
They’d Not The Power To Strike One Stroke,
But Flung Their Whips Away.
As It Fell Out Upon One Day,
Poor Lazarus Sickened And Died;
There Came Two Angels Out Of Heaven,
His Soul Therein To Guide.
“Rise Up! Rise Up! Brother Lazarus,
And Go Along With Me;
For You’ve A Place Prepared In Heaven,
To Sit On An Angel’s Knee.”
As It Fell Out Upon One Day,
Rich Dive S Sickened And Died;
There Came Two Serpents Out Of Hell,
His Soul Therein To Guide.
“Rise Up! Rise Up! Brother Diverus,
And Come Along With Me;
There Is A Place Provided In Hell
For Wicked Men Like Thee.”
Then Dive S Looked Up With His Eyes
And Saw Poor Lazarus Blest;
“Give Me One Drop Of Water, Brother Lazarus,
To Quench My Flaming Thirst.”
“O, Was I Now But Alive Again
The Space Of One Half Hour!
O, That I Had My Peace Again
Then The Devil Should Have No Power.”
