Classic Poem

God gives them sleep on ground, on straw,
on Sedgie Mats or Boord:
When English softest Beds of Downe,
sometimes no sleep affoord.

I have knowne them leave their House and Mat
to lodge a Friend or stranger,
When Jewes and Christians oft have sent
Christ Jesus to the Manger.

'Fore day they invocate their Gods,
though Many, False and New:
O how should that God worshipt be,
who is but One and True?
