Pagina 361 - The fourth appointed by his office was Poor prisoners to relieve with gracious aid, And captives to redeem with price of brass From Turks and Saracens, which them had stay'd ; And though they faulty were, yet well he weigh'd, That God to us forgiveth every hour Much more than that why they in bands were laid ; And he, that harrow'd hell with heavy stowre, The faulty souls from thence brought to his heav'nly bower.
