VPON HIS SABBOTH by JOSEPH HALL

First Line: WHILES GREENHAM WRITETH OF THE SABBOTHS REST
Last Line: HARD IS TO SAY WHETHER IS THE HAPPIEST.
Subject(s): REST; SABBATH; SOUL; WRITING & WRITERS; SUNDAY;
@3W@1Hiles @3GREENHAM@1 writeth of the Sabboths rest,
His soule inioyes that which his pen exprest:
His worke inioyes not what it selfe doth say,
For it shall neuer finde one resting day.
A thousand hands shall tosse each page and line,
Which shall be scanned by a thousand eyne.
That Sabboths rest, or this Sabboths vnrest,
Hard is to say whether is the happiest.
