As of winds and waves would ruler be,——

The Pope pretends to curse and bless,

And yet cannot create a Louse,

Nor make a dead beast live again,

For all the might he does preten’:

Yet claims a power in heav’n and earth,

Of judgment here there is a dearth,

But O! what madness fills their head?

To pray to saints thousand years dead!

If dead men had such power to sell,
