Richard Crashaw DIVINE EPIGRAMS. ACTS VIII. On the Baptized Ethiopian. LET it no longer be a forlorn hope                     To wash an Ethiop : He's wash'd, his gloomy skin a peaceful shade                     For his white soul is made : And now, I doubt not, the Eternal Dove                     A black-faced house will love.
