As it fell out upon one day, rich Diverus he gave a feast,
And invited all his neighbours in, and gentry of the best.
And it fell out upon that day, poor Lazarus he was so poor,
He came and laid him down, even down by Diverus' door.
Then Lazarus laid him down and down, even down by Diverus' door.
Some meat, some drink, brother Diverus, do we stow upon the poor.
Thou art none of mine, brother Lazarus, lying begging at my door.
No meat, no drink will I give thee, nor bestow upon the poor.
Then Lazarus he laid him down and down, even down by Diverus' wall.
Some meat, some drink, brother Diverus, or surely starve I shall.
Thou art none of mine, brother Lazarus, lying begging at my wall.
No meat, no drink will I give thee, and surely starve you shall.
Then Lazarus he laid him down and down, even down by Diverus' gate.
Some meat, some drink, brother Diverus, for Jesus Christ his sake.
Thou art none of mine, brother Lazarus, lying begging at my gate.
No meat, no drink will I give thee, for Jesus Christ his sake.
Then Diverus he sent his merry men all, for to whip poor Lazarus away.
They had no will to whip one whip, but threw their whips away.
Then Diverus sent his hungry dogs, for to bite poor Lazarus away.
They had no will to bite one bite, but licked his wounds away.
Then it fell out upon one day, poor Lazarus he sickened and died.
There came two angels out of heaven, his soul thereto to guide.
Rise up, rise up, brother Lazarus, and come you along with me.
There is a place prepared in heaven, for to sit upon an angel's knee.
Then it fell out upon one day, poor Lazarus he sickened and died.
There came two serpents out of hell, his soul thereto to guide.
Rise up, rise up, brother Diverus, and come you along with me.
There is a place prepared in hell, for to sit upon a serpent's knee.
