More brass and iron took in one day,
Than satan all the week, with Sunday.
But should the public turn deaf ear to ’t
Tell them that I know who will swear to ’t
And testify the whole affair
Before his honor, the lord mayor!
Say Perkinism was begotten
In wilds where science ne’er was thought on,[98]
And had its birth and education
Quite at the fag end of creation!
