The stroying angells weapon therewith sham And let my Faith on thy rost mutton feed And Drinke the Wine thy holy grape doth bleed. Lord make my Faith feed on it heartily. Let holy Charity my heart Cement Unto thy Saints: and for a Cordiall high Make mee partaker of thy Sacrament. When with this Paschall bread and Wine I'm brisk I in sweet Tunes thy sweetest praise will twist. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...FRAGMENT, ON THE BACK OF THE POET'S MS.
