Matthew 27:14: He answered him to never a word
From Short Hymns on Select Passages of the Holy Scriptures (1762) · Osborn ed., vol. 10 (1871)
Religion
Jesus answer'd not a word
To furious calumny:
But the silence of my Lord
Distinctly speaks to me:
Taught by this I now forbear
My eagerness of self-defence,
Leave to God the cause and care
Of blacken'd innocence.
