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.’”
