AND HE WAS SPEECHLESS




Behold the wretch! how mute he stands,
Abashed and full of fear,
Now the great Lord, amidst the throng,
Enquires how he came there.


He at the marriage supper thought
To find himself a guest;
Presumptuous man, who could intrude
At such a sacred feast—


In human righteousness arrayed,
To seek an embrace there,
Where none but those admission gain,
Who wedding garments wear!


Friend, said the Master of the feast,
How darest thou to come—
So unprepared—in such a dress!
Depart! There is no room.
