“If that Woman were here, dash my wigs.”

Cried he, “I’d come Luther and Knox at her,

I’d slate the old mother of prigs,

And raise my episcopal vox at her.

I fancied I’d made such a rare book,

And now I’m in just the wrong box for ’t;

Had I struck to my Anglican Prayer-book,

H should not have stuck Bishop of Oxford.”

Rum-ti-iddi-ti-ti.

Moral.
