The Lamb (from "The Testament of John Lydgate”)
The speaker states: “Meke as a lambe offered in sacryfice”. Typically, this sentence would be: “Make me a lamb offered in sacrifice”. The sacrificial lamb, in the Biblical setting, is representative of Jesus.
Money (“London Lickpenny”)
All the stanzas excluding the seventh stanza include the word “money”. Money gives a picture of a requisite bargaining authority. The speaker cannot get any help in London for the reason that he is short of money.The lack of money has a domino effect on the speaker’s antagonistic encounters in London.
