"The Sabbath Breaker Reclaimed; or, a pleasing history of Thomas Brown" by Old Humphrey is a religious poem that shares the tale of Thomas Brown, who first ignores the importance of the Sabbath, deciding instead to spend his Sundays walking around his property. Falling within the genre of moral storytelling, the verse emphasizes change, forgiveness, and the value of following religious practices; while Brown and his family walk the fields one Sunday, a conversation with a neighbor plants the idea in Brown's head that he should be observing the Sabbath and nourishing his spiritual life; deciding this is the path for him, Thomas reverses his course, accepting faith, and finding a deeper appreciation for God's word. This transformation from a careless Sabbath breaker to a devoted, spiritually awake person committed to living a faithful and morally upright life is a central element of the poem.
