THE old poet Herrick gave the following
hints respecting Lent:
L. this a fast, to keep
The larder lesne
And oleane
From fat ofvesies and sheepi
Is It TO quit the dish
OF flesh, yet still
To all
The platter high with hsh'
IL II to fast an houre,
Or rag TO go, r.
Or show
Adown cast look and sowre'
No, Ills fast to dole
Thy sheaf Of wheat,
And meat,
Unto the hungry soul.
II lie to fast from strife,
From old debate,
And hate;
To cireumcise thy life.
To show a heart grief rent,
To starve thy sin,
Not bin:
And that's to keep thy Lent.
