S. Johan. ad Port. Latin
Foolish Tyrant, spare thy cost,
All thine Oile & Labour's lost:
This is a Seraph all on fire;
Oile will but feed his Flames up higher.
If Thou would'st kill Him, let Him live:
Death his best Life to Him will give.
All thine Oile & Labour's lost:
This is a Seraph all on fire;
Oile will but feed his Flames up higher.
If Thou would'st kill Him, let Him live:
Death his best Life to Him will give.
Foolish Tyrant
Who anoint'st thine Enemie
Too strong before for Hell and Thee;
And dost for streams of Torments, shed
Soft Oile of Gladnes on His Head.
Who anoint'st thine Enemie
Too strong before for Hell and Thee;
And dost for streams of Torments, shed
Soft Oile of Gladnes on His Head.
