The Form of Perfect Living and Other Prose Treatises
Rolle, Richard, of Hampole
Christian life; Rolle, Richard, of Hampole, 1290?-1349
Think oft with sore heart of thy foul sins,
Think oft of hell-woe, of heaven-kingdom's
wins;[9]
Think of thine own death, of GOD'S death
on rood,
The grim doom of Doom's-day have thou oft
in mood:
Think how false is this world, and what its
reward,
Think what, for His good death, thou owest
thy Lord.
RICHARD ROLLE.
FOOTNOTES:
[9] Wins = joys.
