[The world with courtesy like his]

He came to Jesus, and said, Hail, Master; &c. —xxvi. 49.

The world with courtesy like his
Doth Jesus' followers treat,
And calmly the perfidious kiss
We would, like Christ, admit;
But full of rancorous despite
They do not Jesus know,
Who cannot bear the speech or sight
Of an ungrateful foe.
