[A type of modern parents see!]

Grant that these my two sons may sit, &c. —xx. 21.

A type of modern parents see!
Our Saviour's meanness we forget,
His death and passion on the tree,
Through haste to make our children great:
Ambitious that the highest prize
Our sons with Zebedee's should share,
We wish them in the church to rise,
And win the first preferments there.
