Over comfits and cates, and dishes and plates,

Cowl and cope, and rochet and pall,

Miter and crosier! he hopped upon all.

With a saucy air, he perched on the chair

Where, in state, the great Lord Cardinal sat,

In the great Lord Cardinal's great red hat;

And he peered in the face

Of his Lordship's Grace,

With a satisfied look, as if he would say,

"We two are the greatest folks here to-day!"
