ACC ~ Mark 6 v38
FEEDING UPON THE WORD
PRUDENTIUS:
Five loaves and fishes two he orders placed[1]
As food before the people thronging round
Their master, by their hunger undeterred,
Who mindful not of food forgot their towns,
Their forts, their markets, hamlets, trading-posts
And cities, glad to feed upon his words.
The festive gathering swarms upon the plain;
By hundreds they recline in friendly bands,
And round the countless boards they range themselves
To dine on two small fish and scanty crusts
He multipliesāknow now that he is God!
A HYMN ON THE TRINITY.[2]

[1]Mk 6:38-44.
[2]Cetedoc 1439, 706; FC 52:28-29. Those who became most forgetful of food fed on his word.
