Thought for the Day

ROCHESTER  EXTEMPORE

 
And after singing Psalm the Twelfth,
He laid his book upon the shelf
And looked much simply like himself;
With eyes turned up, as white as ghost,
He cried, “Ah, Lard! ah, Lard of Hosts!
I am a rascal, that thou knowst!”
 

John Wilmot,

Earl of Rochester
