The Prayer of the Sons of Zebedee

Richard Crashaw (C.) (c. 1613–1649)

MATT. XX. 20.

O BROTHERS twain, may it be yours to fill

At right and left your places as you will!

A seat remains, I trust—a fair one too—

Besides those high ones that were sought for you.

I pray not that to me some part be given,

But heaven itself, kind Father, grant me heaven.
