THE POORES PORTION, by                 Poet Analysis     Poet's Biography
First Line: The sup'rabundance of my store
Last Line: The poore to cut, and I to chuse.


The sup'rabundance of my store,
That is the portion of the poore:
Wheat, Barley, Rie, or Oats; what is't
But he takes tole of? all the Griest.
Two raiments have I: Christ then makes
This Law; that He and I part stakes.
Or have I two loaves; then I use
The poore to cut, and I to chuse.
