English poem
Xxvii. [23]
by Michael Wigglesworth (1631–1705)
At Christ’s left hand the Goats do stand, all whining Hypocrites Who for self-ends did seem Christ’s friends, but foster’d guileful sprites; Who Sheep resembled, but they dissembled, (their hearts were not sincere,) Who once did throng Christ’s Lambs among, but now must not come near.
