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."
