Of Hym That Togyder Wyll Serve Two Masters Comments

An outstanding religious hymn depicting contradictory schools of thoughts existing as under currents in theology. A well deserved classic poem of the day.

Old English and Middle English are fascinating. What a treasure that this poem by Sebastian Brant was preserved, and able to appear here as Poem of the Day! We are grateful! : -)

A great classical poem that will be read throughout the ages. : -)

It is a brilliant poem composed by Sebastian Brant.

These examples of life. Thanks for sharing.

I had never heard of nor read anything by Brant before this poem. I found my lips moving, shaping the words, to make sense of them and remembered to be thankful for the standarization of English spelling. Besides Jesus’ warning that it’s impossible to serve two masters, from the Sermon on the Mount, his encouragement that his yoke is easy, his burden light, from Matthew 11, came to mind. -GK

The beautiful flow of the language which is little changed over the years, other than the spelling but it Is the sound and the meaning which remains the same. The message of the poem within the rhyme and rhythms is the same today, as it was so many years ago..

Such a great poem by Sebastian Brant.....................
