KING LAZARUS. ? It seems that the day of Dives is over, and that Lazarus ia King." By FRKDERIC E. WEATHERLY. "Set down thy cup, 0 Dives, the wine no longer pour, Go bid thy lackeys open, there's knocking at the door j 'Tia not a beggar's wailings- that thro' thy courtyard ring, 'Tis Lazarus who calls thee, and Lazarus is King "Come out he brook? no tarrying Come out, and naked stand. What though thy gold was gathered by thine own brain and hand The rogue must live as well as thou, the felon have his fling, For Laearcs hath spoken, and Lazarus is King. Pull down, ye fond philosophers, your pleasure- r homes of Art, In v&in he feed his fancy and cultivate his heart J 'Tis food he wants, not culture 'tis gold your hands must bring 'Tis Lazarus hath spoken, and Lazarus is King. In vaia ye preach, 0 preachers, and mouth it o'4ir and o'er, The happiness of Kicgdomcomp, when beggars beg no more 'Tis now, not then, he wants it, ere life be on the wing, He wants it and will have it, for Lazarus is King '^Ye tender pious women, who patronise his doors, e scheming politicians who lick the beggar's sores, Seehowhenings it back at you,—the charity you bring, This is no puling beggar, 'tis Lazarus, the King "Reign on, reign on, King Lazarus time and the hours shall see Dives with Father Abraham, who will have none of thee; Then comes the Rogues-Millennium, when all the world will sing Barabbas up for ever Barabbas shall be King —Temple Bar.
