The Jews the seventh, as they did of old;

The Turks the sixth, as we have oft been told.

How can these three, in the same place and day,

Have each his own true Sabbath? tell, I pray.

They're all standing in the same place on Tuesday. They all have a true Sabbath. One will celebrate it on Sunday, one on Saturday and one on Friday.

And is the Sabbath a day of the week, or is it what they do on that day?
