Social Commentaries
A sight of our Saviour
From Two Bookes of Epigrammes, and Epitaphs (1639), Book II
Social Commentaries
Zacheus, whose low stature could not see
Our Saviour passing by him, climb'd a Tree
To take a full view of him: so may we
With Contemplations nimble pace ascend
The Tree whereon our Ransome did depend,
And there behold our all-surpassing friend.
