[Ye that in royal mansions live]

Think not with thyself that thou shalt escape, &c. —iv. 13.

Ye that in royal mansions live,
And Christ into your hearts receive,
Think not to serve your Saviour's cause,
Yet 'scape the scandal of His cross:
In Cæsar's house, to save your fame,
Ye must deny your Master's name,
Or bear, if Christ ye dare confess,
The mark of Jesu's witnesses.
