Excerpt/passage used as inspiration:
A holy-minded man of good renown There was, and poor, the Parson to a town, Yet he was rich in holy thought and work. He also was a learned man, a clerk… Benign and wonderfully diligent, And patient when adversity was sent… Wide was his parish, with houses far asunder, Yet he neglected not in rain or thunder, In sickness or in grief, to pay a call On the remotest, whether great or small Upon his feet, and in his hand a stave. This noble example to his sheep he gave That first he wrought, and afterward he taught...and he would add this figure too That if gold rust, what then will iron do?
