THE CHEWING THE CUD, by                 Poet Analysis     Poet's Biography
First Line: When well we speak, & nothing do that's good
Last Line: We then both chew the cud, and cleave the hoof.
Subject(s): Bible; Religion; Theology


When well we speak, & nothing do that's good,
We not divide the Hoof, but chew the Cud:
But when good words, by good works, have their proof,
We then both chew the Cud, and cleave the Hoof.
