Go on, neat humbug, laughing in your sleeve.
And winking, as you bid the Church not falter;
We joy to see her aid from you receive,
To guard her ’gainst the dangers that assault her;
The English Church has had her last reprieve,
Now you are standing boldly by her altar.—
Already in the glass we see the image,
Of an impending, big religious scrimmage.
