Today’s Thoughts

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.
