First Line: The sun's my fire, when it does shine
Last Line: My associates onely are divine.
Alternate Author Name(s): Killegrew, Anne
Subject(s): John The Baptist, Saint (1st Century)
THe Sun's my Fire, when it does shine,
The hollow Spring's my Cave of Wine,
The Rocks and Woods afford me Meat;
This Lamb and I on one Dish eat:
The neighbouring Herds my Garments send,
My Pallet the kind Earth doth lend:
Excess and Grandure I decline,
My Associates onely are Divine.
