‘I have bought Five Yoke of Oxen’

Richard Crashaw (G.) (c. 1613–1649)


LUKE XIV. 19. I CALL thee to His supper,
for so the Master spake:
Thou say’st “No,” pretending
thou must thy oxen take.

Farewell, O thou unworthy,	5
and wholly useless guest;
Thy oxen for the Supper
in truth were better prest.
