Then, with a smile, to Peter said
The Lord: ‘Well, friend, how have you sped?
If such a task your powers has tried
How could you keep the world so wide?’
Then Peter, with his toil distressed,
His folly, with a sigh, confessed;
‘No, Master, ’tis for me no play
To rule one goat for one short day;
It must be infinitely worse
To regulate the universe.’”
