Maxioms by George Herbert
Who did leave His Father's throne,
To assume thy flesh and bone?
Had He life, or had read more

To assume thy flesh and bone?
Had He life, or had He none?
If he had not liv'd for thee,
Thou hadst died most wretchedly
And two deaths had been thy fee.

The dainties of the great are the teares of the poore.
Whether shall the Oxe goe, where he shall not labour?
Whether shall the Oxe goe, where he shall not labour?
Divine ashes are better then earthly meale.
Divine ashes are better then earthly meale.
