Alternate Author Name(s): Alleyne, Ellen; Rossetti, Christina
Subject(s): Bartholomew, Saint (1st Century); Saints
HE bore an agony whereof the name
Hath turned his fellows pale:
But what if God should call us to the same,
Should call, and we should fail?
Nor earth nor sea could swallow up our shame,
Nor darkness draw a veil:
For he endured that agony whose name
Hath made his fellows quail.
