Epigram 34. Late Repentance.

A greedy wretch did on the Scriptures looke,
And found recorded in that Sacred booke,
How such a man with God should sure preuaile,
Who clad the naked, and visit those in Iaile,
And then he found how he had long mistak'd,
And oftentimes had made the cloathed nak'd:
In stead of visiting th'opprest in mones,
He had consum'd them to the very bones.

266

Yet one day he at leasure would repent,
But sudden death Repentance did preuent.
