Conclusion of the Meal
He took the cup
and said, ‘I will not
no more drink
of this fruit
of the vine’
but He did not
dash the cup
to the ground
for He said,
‘until I drink it new
with you’
farewell.
But Man, that offspring of corrupting Clay,
Subject to Err, and Subject to Decay:
In Hopes, Desires, Will, Power, a numerous Train,
Uncertain, Fickle, Impotent and Vain:
Must tire the Heav'nly Muse with endless Prayer,
And call the smiling Angels to his care.
