As it fell out upon one day Rich Divers he gave a feast And he invited all his friends And gentry of the best Then Lazarus laid him down and down Even down by Diverus' door "Some meat, some drink, brother Diverus Do bestow upon the poor." "Thou are none of mine, brother Lazarus Lying begging at my door No meat, no drink, will I give thee Nor bestow upon the poor." Then Lazarus he laid him down and down Even down by Diverus' gate "Some meat, some drink, brother Diverus For Jesus Christ His sake." "Thou are none of mine, brother Lazarus Lying begging at my gate No meat, no drink, will I give thee For Jesus Christ His sake." Then Diverus sent his merry men all For to whip poor Lazarus away They had no will to whip one whip But threw their whips away Then Diverus sent his hungry dogs For to bite poor Lazarus away They had not will to bite one bite But licked his wounds away Then it fell out upon one day Poor Lazarus he sickened and died There came two angels out of Heaven His soul thereto to guide "Rise up, rise up, brother Lazarus And come you along with me There is a place prepared in Heaven For to sit upon an angel's knee." Then it fell out upon one day Rich Diverus he sickened and died There came two serpents out of hell His soul thereto to guide "Rise up, rise up, brother Diverus And come you along with me There is a place prepared in hell For to sit upon a serpent's knee."
