413. Grace before and after Meat

 O LORD, when hunger pinches sore,
 Do thou stand us in stead,
And send us, from thy bounteous store,
 A tup or wether head! Amen.————
O Lord, since we have feasted thus,
 Which we so little merit,
Let Meg now take away the flesh,
 And Jock bring in the spirit! Amen.
