Richard Crashaw DIVINE EPIGRAMS. LUKE XV. On the Prodigal. TELL me, bright boy, tell me, my golden lad, Whither away so frolic ?  why so glad ? What all thy wealth in council ? all thy state ? Are husks so dear ?  troth 'tis a mighty rate. Source: The Complete Works of Richard Crashaw. William B. Turnbull, Ed.
