Dives And Lazarus
As it fell out upon one day, Rich Divès made a feast, And he invited all his friends, And gentry of the best.
Then Lazarus laid him down and down And down at Divès' door: “Some meat and drink, brother, Diverus, Bestow upon the poor.”
“Thou'rt none of my brothers, Lazarus, That liest begging at my door; No meat, nor drink will I give thee, Nor bestow upon the poor.”
Then Lazarus laid him down and down, All under Divès' wall: “Some meat, some drink, brother Diverus, For hunger starve I shall.”
“Thou'rt none of my brothers, Lazarus, That liest begging at my gate; No meat, no drink will I give thee, For Jesus Christ His sake.”
Then Divès sent out his hungry dogs, To bite him as he lay; They hadn't the power to bite one bite, But licked his sores away.
Then Divès sent to his merry men, To worry poor Lazarus away; They'd not the power to strike one stroke, もっと沢山の歌詞は ※ Mojim.com But flung their whips away.
As it fell out upon one day, Poor Lazarus sickened and died; There came two angels out of heaven, His soul therein to guide.
“Rise up! rise up! brother Lazarus, And go along with me; For you've a place prepared in heaven, To sit on an angel's knee.”
As it fell out upon one day, Rich Divès sickened and died; There came two serpents out of hell, His soul therein to guide.
“Rise up! rise up! brother Diverus, And come along with me; There is a place provided in hell For wicked men like thee.”
Then Divès looked up with his eyes And saw poor Lazarus blest; “Give me one drop of water, brother Lazarus, To quench my flaming thirst.”
“O, was I now but alive again The space of one half hour! O, that I had my peace again Then the devil should have no power.”
