Joseph Friedlander, comp. The Standard Book of Jewish Verse. 1917.

By John Heath

Between Two Stools

NED will not keep the Jewish Sabbath, not he,

Because the Church has otherwise ordained;

Nor yet the Christian for he does not see

How alt’ring the day can be maintained;

Thus seeming for to doubt of keeping either

He halts betwixt them both and so keeps neither.
