"There is Peter the Prior, and Francis the Friar,

And Roger the Monk shall our convives be;

Small scandal I ween shall then be seen:

They are a goodly companie!"

The Abbot hath donned his mitre and ring,

His rich dalmatic, and maniple fine;

And the choristers sing, as the lay-brothers bring

To the board a magnificent turkey and chine.

The turkey and chine, they are done to a nicety;

Liver, and gizzard, and all are there;
