• The Holy Supper is kept, indeed,
  In whatso we share with anothers need;
  Not what we give, but what we share,
  For the gift without the giver is bare;
  Who gives himself with his alms feeds three,
  Himself, his hungering neighbor, and me.

I learned to put my trust in God and to seek Him as my strength.

The devil, one may guess, will by then have gone away to more interesting company.
