Found Poem No. 9: As Thow Art


AS THOW ART
SO WAS I
AS I AM
SO SHALT THOW BEE


Found by Dick Morgan
in St Eadburgha's Church, Broadway, Hereford and Worcester,
and kindly contributed by him.

St Eadburgha was the great granddaughter of King Alfred the Great.
Eadburgha achieved sainthood quite effortlessly: as a child
she was offered the choice of jewels or a Bible.
She chose the Bible and dedicated her life to the service of God.
