NEWSLETTER – MARCH 2009
Is this a Fast, to keep The larder lean, And clean, From fat of Veales and Sheep? Is it to quit the dish Of Flesh, yet still To fill The platter high with fish? Is it to fast an houre, Or ragg'd to go Or show A downcast look, and sowre? No; 'tis a Fast, to dole Thy sheaf of wheat And meat, Unto the hungry Soule. It is to fast from strife, From old debate, And hate; To circumcise thy life. To show a heart grief-rent; To starve thy sin, Not Bin; And that's to keep thy Lent. |
