The Complete Works of Richard Crashaw - Volume I by Richard Crashaw
Two Went Up Into The Temple To Pray
Two went to pray? O rather say
One went to brag, th’ other to pray:

One stands up close and treads on high,
Where th’ other dares not send his eye.

One nearer to God’s altar trod,
The other to the altar’s God.
