Explore "The Bowl and Rim" by Robert Graves on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
The bearded rabbi, the meek friar, / Linked by their ankles in one cell, / Through joint distress of dungeon mire / Learned each to love his neighbour well.
When four years passed and five and six, / When seven years brought them no release, / The Jew embraced the crucifix, / The friar assumed phylacteries.
