THE IMAGE-MAKER by JOHN BANISTER TABB

First Line: THOU SHALT NO GRAVEN IMAGE MAKE'
Last Line: DIDST THOU THYSELF CONSENT TO DIE.
Subject(s): JESUS CHRIST;

"Thou shalt no graven image make;"
And yet, O sculptor, for the sake
Of such an effigy as I --
The superscription like the face
Disfigured now, and hard to trace --
Didst thou thyself consent to die.
