 | Cotton Mather's verse in English |  |
III. The Child at his Food.
At Eating, thus I ever shou'dDevout and Thankful be;
My God, I Bless thee for my Food;
Let it be Bless'd to me.
A Child, that when he goes to Eat,
Thinks not of GOD at all,
Is like the Bruits, which at their Meat
On God do never call.
