Then over to England the Suffragan flew,

And published some tomes full of lore,

Which brought on his Lordship each savage Review;

Some called him a sceptic, some called him untrue,

Some said he’d been answer’d before.

A dreadful sensation, too dreadful to tell

To the Bench of the Bishops he gave,

As when Mr. Whitworth explodes a big shell;

But they rallied, and all in a body they fell

To demolish Colenso the Brave.
