God's gift am I, and none but God shall have me.

Man altred was by synne from man to best;

Beste's food is haye, haye is all mortal fleshe;

Now God is fleshe, and lyes in maunger prest,

As haye the brutest synner to refreshe:

O happy fielde wherein this foder grewe,

Whose taste doth us from beastes to men renewe!
