Abel's Blood

Title:     Abel's Blood
Author: (Poet) Robert Herrick [More Titles by Herrick]

Speak, did the blood of Abel cry
To God for vengeance? Yes, say I,
Ev'n as the sprinkled blood called on
God for an expiation.

Another

The blood of Abel was a thing
Of such a rev'rend reckoning,
As that the old world thought it fit
Especially to swear by it.

[The end]
