Redemption
George Herbert
Having been tenant long to a rich Lord,
Not thriving, I resolved to be bold,
And make a suit unto him, to afford
A new small-rented lease, and cancell th’ old.
In heaven at His manour I him sought:
They told me there, that He was lately gone
About some land, which he had dearly bought
Long since on earth, to take possession.
I straight return’d, and knowing His great birth,
Sought him accordingly in great resorts;
In cities, theatres, gardens, parks, and courts:
At length I heard a ragged noise and mirth
Of theeves and murderers: there I Him espied,
Who straignt, Your suit is granted said, & died.
