Foe to his Church, it pleas’d him to the heart,

When he could Anger to her friends impart;

And by his own, or by a borrow’d, Jest

See the sad Vicar troubled and distress’d—

The modest Vicar, who with meek good Sense

Fear’d the vain laugh of heartless Insolence. 470

No Student he; yet, what our Squire had read

Cool’d his Affections and disturb’d his head;

Made him his Neighbours and his friends dispise,

And class himself among the learnt and wise.
