Thy price one penny is in time of plenty, <br />In famine doubled, 'tis from one to twenty. <br />Yea, no man knows what price on thee to set <br />When there is but one penny loaf to get. <br /> <br />Comparison. <br /> <br />This loaf's an emblem of the Word of God, <br />A thing of low esteem before the rod <br />Of famine smites the soul with fear of death, <br />But then it is our all, our life, our breath.<br /><br />John Bunyan<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/upon-a-penny-loaf/
