Handling the holy rites with hands as bold,

As if therein she did Jove's thunder hold,

And need not fear those menaces of error,

Which she at others threw with greatest terror.

O lovely Hero, nothing is thy sin,210

Weigh'd with those foul faults other priests are in!

That having neither faiths, nor works, nor beauties,

T' engender any 'scuse for slubbered[81] duties,

With as much countenance fill their holy chairs,

And sweat denouncements 'gainst profane affairs,
