Magpie Tales 211: Simon Says

Feast in the House of Simon, 1610, El Greco via Magpie Tales

In my house at meat

Cure upon me, yet

I am the example

to be made of forgiveness,

by you, son of God?

Outcast I was, perfume I have not

Let the question reverse itself

Thankful to keep my limbs

But without perfume or hair as rags

You damn me with faint praise
