MISCELLANEOUS i87
THE INCENSE
In the day of thy health
Tliou wilt not give devotion,
Thou wilt not give kine,
Nor wilt thou offer incense ;
Head of haughtiness,
Heart of greediness,
Mouth unhemmed,
Nor ashamed art thou.
But thy winter will come,
And the hardness of thy distress.
And thy head shall be as
The clod in the earth ;
Thy strengtii having failed.
Thine aspect having gone.
And thou a thrall.
On thy two knees.
