Thou wilt not let her wash thy dainty feet

With such salt things as tears, or with rude hair

Dry them, soft Pharisee, that sit'st at meat

With him who made her such, and speak'st him fair. 340

Leaving God's wandering lamb the while to bleat

Unheeded, shivering in the pitiless air:

Thou hast made prisoned virtue show more wan

And haggard than a vice to look upon.
