VPON HIS SABBOTH, by                     Poet's Biography
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


WHiles GREENHAM 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.
