English poem
St. John Baptist Painted by her self in the Wilderness, with Angels appearing to him, and with a Lamb by him
by Anne Killigrew (1660–1685)
THe Sun's my Fire, when it does shine, The hollow Spring's my Cave of Wine, The Rocks and Woods afford me Meat; This Lamb and I on one Dish eat: The neighbouring Herds my Garments send, My Pallet the kind Earth doth lend: Excess and Grandure I decline, M'Associates onely are Divine.
