 | Piety, and Poesy |  |
On our Saviour paying Tribute.
It was decreed the King of Kings must payExacted Tribute, to a King of Clay:
Cæsar must have his Image, and his birth
May well exact it, 'tis but Earth to Earth:
We are Christs Image, our Souls onely easer,
Why should not he have's due as well as Cæsar?
