ON THE PASSION OF CHRIST by THOMAS RANDOLPH

Poet Analysis

First Line: WHAT RENDS THE TEMPLE'S VEIL, WHERE IS DAY GONE?
Last Line: NATURE MUST NEEDS BE SICK, WHEN GOD CAN DIE.
Subject(s): JESUS CHRIST = SUFFERING & SACRIFICE;

WHAT rends the temple's veil, where is day gone?
How can a general darkness cloud the sun?
Astrologers their skill in vain do try,
Nature must needs be sick, when God can die.
