Classic Poem

In Adam's Fall
We sinned all.

Thy life to mend,
This Book attend.

The Cat doth play,
And after slay.

A Dog will bite
A thief at night.

An Eagle's flight
Is out of sight.

The idle Fool
Is whipt at school.

As runs the Glass,
Man's life doth pass.

My book and Heart
Shall never part.

Job feels the rod,
Yet blesses God.

Kings should be good,
No men of blood.

The Lion bold
The Lamb doth hold.

The Moon gives light
In time of night.

Nightingales sing
In time of spring.

Young Obadias,
David, Josias,
All were pious.

Peter denies
His Lord, and cries.

Queen Esther sues
And saves the Jews.

Rachel doth mourn
For her first-born.

Samuel anoints
Whom God appoints.

Time cuts down all,
Both great and small.

Uriah's beauteous wife
Made David seek his life.

Whales in the sea
God's voice obey.

Xerxes the great did die
And so must you and I.

Youth forward slips,
Death soonest nips.

Zaccheus he
Did climb the tree
His Lord to see.
