dives and lazarus - martin sexton lyrics
as it fell out upon one day,
rich divès made a feast,
and he invited all his friends,
and gentry of the best.
then lazarus laid him down and down
and down at divès’ 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 divès’ 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 divès 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 divès 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 divès sickened and died;
there came two serpents out of h-ll,
his soul therein to guide.
“rise up! rise up! brother diverus,
and come along with me;
there is a place provided in h-ll
for wicked men like thee.”
then divès looked up with his eyes
and saw poor lazarus blest;
“give me one drop of water, brother lazarus,
to quench my flaming thirst.”
