As it fell out all on the day rich Divers held a feast And he invited all his friends and gentry of the best As it fell out all on a day Lazarus he was so poor He went and laid him down and down right down at Divers door And Lazarus laid him down and down right down at Divers door Some meat some drink brother Divers or surely starve I shall You are none of mine brother Lazarus lying begging at my door No meat nor drink shall I give to thee and so surely starve you shall And so Divers sent out out his merry men all for to whip poor Lazarus away They had not the power to whip one whip but they threw their whips away So Divers sent out his hungry dogs for to bite poor Lazarus away They had not the power to bite one bite but they licked his wounds away As it fell out all on a day Lazarus he sickened and died There came two angels out of Heaven his soul thereto to guide Rise up rise up brother Lazarus and go along with me There is a place prepared in Heaven for you to sit upon an angel's knee And it fell out all on one day Divers he sickened and died There came two serpents out of hell his soul thereto to guide Rise up rise up brother Divers and go along with me There is a place prepared in Hell for you to rot in purgatory
