Original Text
Richard Crashaw, Steps to the Temple (1646.) Facs. edn.: Scolar Press, 1970. PR 3386 A75 1970 ROBA.
1See here an easy feast that knows no wound,
2      That under hunger's teeth will needs be sound;
3A subtle harvest of unbounded bread,
4      What would ye more? Here food itself is fed.
