——A State Church is a stage,

Its well-paid priests and bishops often players;

They have their stipends and emoluments,

And each man, if he plays his part with skill,

May gain preferment. At first the student,

Reading or larking at his Alma Mater;

And then the genteel curate, with chasuble,

And early morning prayers, with Oxford twang,
