 John Donne, Upon the Annunciation and Passion Falling Upon One Day: 

Tamely, frail body, abstain to day; to day 

My soul eats twice, Christ hither and away . 

Whose first and last concur; this doubtful day 

Of feast or fast, Christ came, and went away . 

How well the Church, God s Court of Faculties 

Deals, in sometimes, and seldom joining these!
