[HE, who, five thousand hungry Souls had fed]

HE, who, five thousand hungry Souls had fed
With two small Fishes, and five Loaves of Bread,
Would have the Fragments sav'd: for, that is sweet
To some, which others trample under feet;
This Prisoners late Experiments may be,
Of use to them, who know much more than he:
For, men to credit those, are soonest mov'd;
Whose Words to be sincere, by Deeds, are prov'd.
By GEORGE WITHER.
