| KEEP TRUE LENT
Is this fast, to keep
The Iarder Ieane
! And cleane
! From fat of yeals and sheep :?
Is it to quit the dish
| OF flesh. yet still
To FIJI
| The platter high with fish?
Is it to fast hour,
| Or ragg' d to go,
| Or show
! A down cast look and sour?
| No: It's fast to dole
| Thy sheaf of wheat
And meat
| Unto the hungry soul
Is it to fast from strife
| From old debate
| And hate
To circumeise thy life
| To show heart grief-rent;
| To starve thy sin
Not bin.
| And that's to keep thy Lent
