Make God a dotard and a dreamer,

Verging on second infancy.

And as the Pope on Peter’s throne

Calls little but his keys his own,

So to the Church you would confine

The world-wide realm of the Divine;

’Twixt Life and Doctrine set a sea,

Nowise concern yourselves to be;

Bliss for your souls ye would receive,

Not utterly and wholly live.
