(With Brass Accompaniment.)
Ye clergymen of England,
Who livings hold at ease,
How little do you think upon
The troubles of the Sees!
Give ear unto my plaintive lay,
And I’ll engage to show
That a bishop’s poor and needy—whom for being rich and greedy,
Up the stormy Times doth blow—oh! oh! oh! oh!
Chorus expressive of Woe.
