XXXIII. FOOTPAD
The Palmer comes from the Holy Land;
Scarce on my First can the Palmer stand:
The Prior will take the air to-day;
In my Second the Prior trots away:
His pleasanter under a summer sun
With robes to ride, than with rags to run.
Scarce on my First can the Palmer stand:
The Prior will take the air to-day;
In my Second the Prior trots away:
His pleasanter under a summer sun
With robes to ride, than with rags to run.
My Whole leaped out of the road-side ditch,
With “Stand!” to the poor man, and “Stand!” to the rich:
From the Prior he strips his mantie fair;
From the Palmer he wins but pity and prayer:
'Tis safer when crime is prowling wide
With rags to run, than with robes to ride.
With “Stand!” to the poor man, and “Stand!” to the rich:
From the Prior he strips his mantie fair;
From the Palmer he wins but pity and prayer:
'Tis safer when crime is prowling wide
With rags to run, than with robes to ride.
