III), The Student's Tale, Emma and Eginhard, l. 177 The corn that makes the holy bread By which the soul of man is fed, The holy bread, the food unpriced, Thy everlasting mercy, Christ. - John Masefield, Everlasting Mercy (st. 88) Great minds erect their never-failing trophies on the firm base of mercy. - Philip Massinger Mercy stood in the cloud, with eye that wept Essential love. - Robert Pollok, Course of Time (bk.
