As it fell out upon a day
Rich Diversus made a feast
And he invited all his friends
And the gentry of the best
Then Lazarus laid him down and down
Laid him down at Diversus door
“Some meat, some drink, my brother Diversus
Will you bestow upon the poor”
“Thou art none of my brothers, Lazarus
That lies begging at my door
No meat nor drink will I give to thee, Lazarus
Nor bestow upon the poor”
Diversus sent his men
To whip poor Lazarus away
But they had no power to strike a stroke
But flung their whips away
Diversus sent his hungry dogs
To bite him as he lay
But they had no power to bitе
But licked his sores away
It fell out upon a day
Poor Lazarus grеw sick and died
There came two angels out of heaven above
His souls thereto to guide
Rich Diversus made a feast
And he invited all his friends
And the gentry of the best
Then Lazarus laid him down and down
Laid him down at Diversus door
“Some meat, some drink, my brother Diversus
Will you bestow upon the poor”
“Thou art none of my brothers, Lazarus
That lies begging at my door
No meat nor drink will I give to thee, Lazarus
Nor bestow upon the poor”
Diversus sent his men
To whip poor Lazarus away
But they had no power to strike a stroke
But flung their whips away
Diversus sent his hungry dogs
To bite him as he lay
But they had no power to bitе
But licked his sores away
It fell out upon a day
Poor Lazarus grеw sick and died
There came two angels out of heaven above
His souls thereto to guide
