THE HOUSEHOLDERS by JOHN BANISTER TABB

First Line: ONE PLUCKED THE GRAPE AND TROD THE WINE
Last Line: THE BRIDES OF CHASTITY.
Subject(s): JESUS CHRIST;
One plucked the grape and trod the wine,
And headlong rushed the sotted swine
To perish in the sea.
One blessed the cup and poured the blood,
And lo! about His banquet stood
The brides of chastity.
