How minikin-mildly it urges

In accents how gentled and gingered

Its word in defence of the injured!

"Oh, call him not culprit, this Pontiff!

Be hard on this Kaiser ye won't if

Ye take into con-si-der-ation

What dangers attend elevation!

The Priest—who expects him to descant

On duty with more zeal and less cant?

He preaches but rubbish he 's reared in.
