What is the vine, more than another tree? <br />Nay most, than it, more tall, more comely be. <br />What workman thence will take a beam or pin, <br />To make ought which may be delighted in? <br />Its excellency in its fruit doth lie: <br />A fruitless vine, it is not worth a fly. <br /> <br />Comparison. <br /> <br />What are professors more than other men? <br />Nothing at all. Nay, there's not one in ten, <br />Either for wealth, or wit, that may compare, <br />In many things, with some that carnal are. <br />Good are they, if they mortify their sin, <br />But without that, they are not worth a pin.<br /><br />John Bunyan<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/upon-the-vine-tree/
