[The Pharisee was proud and blind]
Behold, he prayeth.
—ix. 11.
The
Pharisee was proud and blind
Though learn'd in Moses' law,
Nor knew the darkness of his mind,
But thought he clearly saw;
Who many a tedious form had made
And read them o'er and o'er,
A thousand times his prayers he said
But never pray'd before.
Though learn'd in Moses' law,
236
But thought he clearly saw;
Who many a tedious form had made
And read them o'er and o'er,
A thousand times his prayers he said
But never pray'd before.
A zealot of the straitest sect
May thus himself deceive,
And till he his own light reject,
He never can believe.
But struck, and suddenly cast down,
By one celestial ray
Compell'd his unbelief to own
He then begins to pray.
May thus himself deceive,
And till he his own light reject,
He never can believe.
But struck, and suddenly cast down,
By one celestial ray
Compell'd his unbelief to own
He then begins to pray.
