George Herbert LOVE-JOY. AS on a window late I cast mine eye, I saw a vine drop grapes with J and C Anneal’d on every bunch.   One standing by Ask’d what it meant.   I (who am never loth To spend my judgement) said, It seem’d to me To be the bodie and the letters both Of Joy and Charitie ;  Sir, you have not miss’d, The man reply’d ;  It figures  JESUS CHRIST.
