Bishop Burnet perceived that the beautiful dames
Who flocked to the Chapel of hilly St. James
On their lovers alone their kind looks did bestow,
And smiled not on him while he bellowed below.
To the Princess he went with pious intent,
This dangerous ill to the Church to prevent;
“Oh, Madam,” he said, “our religion is lost,
If the ladies thus ogle the knights of the toast.
These practices, Madam, my teaching disgrace,
Shall laymen enjoy the first rights of my place?
