A good man was there of religion,
A poor parson of a town
But rich he was in holy deeds
He was a scholarly man,
That preached Christ's gospel
Every day of the week
No matter how large his parish
**********************************
This noble ensample to his sheep he yaf,
That first he wroghte, and afterward he taughte.

I would like to translate this poem
One who be rich in holy deed, be also rich in blessings...that bare no price...as their value is priceless.Enjoyed this much, Mike! ~ FjR ~ ..2008..
