-Wesley, Charles
  'GentleJesus', collected in Hymns and Sacred Poems.

   They flee from me, that sometime did me seek, With naked foot, stalking in my chamber. I have seen them gentle, tame, and meek, That now are wild, and do not remember That sometime they put themselves in danger To take bread at my hand; and now they range, Busily seeking with a continual change.

-Wyatt, SirThomas (the Elder)
