Are carnal sins 'twixt Saturday and Monday—

But then the beasts are pious on these points,

For they all eat cold dinners on a Sunday—

But what is your opinion, Mrs. Grundy?

What change comes o'er the spirit of the place,

As if transmuted by some spell organic?

Turns fell Hyæna of the Ghoulish race?

The Snake, pro tempore, the true Satanic?

Do Irish minds,—(whose theory allows

That now and then Good Friday falls on Monday)—
