 THE PEACE OF DIVES

Word came down to Dives in Torment where he lay:

"Our World is full of wickedness, My Children maim and slay,

"And the Saint and Seer and Prophet

"Can make no better of it

"Than to sanctify and prophesy and pray.

"Rise up, rise up, thou Dives, and take again thy gold,

"And thy women and thy housen as they were to thee of old.

"It may be grace hath found thee

"In the furnace where We bound thee,

"And that thou shalt bring the peace My Son foretold."
