Classic Poem

“By courtesy, as saith Saint Paul,
we all are members of Jesu Christ;
as head and arm and leg and trunk,
trusty and true, their body serve,
so is each Christian soul a limb
that to the Lord of Might belongs.
Lo now, what hatred or ill-will
is fast or fix'd between thy limbs?
Thy head hath neither spleen nor spite,
on arm or finger though thou bear ring
So fare we all in love and joy,
by courtesy, to King and Queen.”
