the tempter hides in the reality of illusion
dancing to the music of clear confusion
pride and passion of devilish dellusion
His fast had lasted forty nights
When the tempter came into sight;
If you are divine he said
Change these stones into bread-
Upon the scriptures Jesus fed.
Full story of the vignette @Mathew 4:1-11
Flirt not with the tempter;* draw nigh to Christ, faith’s anchor.
*James 1:14 But every man is tempted, when he is drawn away of his own lust, and enticed.

This my passion and pride
will I immerse in the lore of my guard and guidep;
This my folly and fashion
will I bury at His cross to gain His mercy and mansion.
This my grains and gains
will I plant in seasons of pain and plain;
These my fans and foes
will I love and leave not in want and woes.
This my creed and cross
will I shield form dust and dross
that a golden coin and crown
I will gain to make the tempter fall and frown.
