[Another sister (as the Spirit rap't her)]

Another sister (as the Spirit rap't her)
Said to her Boy, come sirrha, reade a Chapter;
The Boy por'd on the Book, and fumbling sate,
And had more minde to be at Ball or Cat;
His mother said, why dost not reade thou knave,
The Boy ask'd her what Chapter she would have:
Thou paltry Imp (quoth she) canst thou finde none
'Twixt Genesis, and Revelation;
To learne thy duty, reade no more but this,
Pauls nineteenth Chapter unto Genesis.
