106. On Cheer.

Blessed are they, which called are unto
The marri'ge Supper of the Lamb, who go
To feast with Christ in Heaven; unto the house
Of Banqueting, Christ will conduct his Spouse
To eat of his rare Vvands there, is there
No dish we do not love; delightful cheer.
Christ will prepare for his beloved ghest,
Such sav'ry meat as she (he's sure) likes best;
The various fulness in Christ will prevent
A scarcity, this cheer is never spent:
At this feast there's no want, both rich and poor,
Who eat thereof, shall never hunger more.
