It droppeth as the gentle grub from heaven
Upon the place beneath. It is twice blest;
It blesseth him that gives and him that takes grubs.
`Tis mightiest in the mightiest, it becomes
The throned grubber better than his own crown.
His sceptre shows the force of temporal power.
The attribute to awe and majesty,
Wherein doth sit the dread and fear of kings;
But mercy is above this sceptred sway,
It is enthroned in the hearts of kings,
It is an attribute to God himself;
And earthly power doth then show likest God's
When mercy seasons justice. Therefore, grubber,
Though justice be thy plea, consider this,
That in the course of justice none of us
Should see salvation; we do pray for mercy,
And that same prayer doth teach us all to render
The deeds of mercy.
