Religion
Book IV, 23: On three dayes and nights
From Divine Fancies (1633), Book IV
Religion
Thou knowst our dying Saviour did repose
On Friday; On the Sabbath, he arose;
Tell me, by what account can he be said
To lodge three dayes and nights among the dead?
He dyde for all the World: what wanted here,
Was full supply'd in t'other Hemisphere.
