THE XII. WONDERS
OF THE WORLD



John Maynard

1611

 

II. The Deuine


       My calling is deuine, and I from God am sent,
       I will no chop Church be, nor pay my Patron rent,
       nor yeeld to sacriledge, but like the kinde true mother,
       rather will loose all the Childe, then part it with another :
       Much wealth I will not seeke, nor worldly Masters serue,
       so to grow rich and fat while my poore flocke doth starue.
     

Sir John Davies
