... His hungry congregation waits in vain,

Wishing he’d come the Gospel to explain,

Begin, or rather end, his dull tho’ noisy strain.

At last he comes, deep-crimson’d o’er his face,

A certain token of unlettered grace;

He mounts, the pulpit crackles with his weight,

His awful eyebrows the most distant threat;

Against his brethren he exclaims aloud

That they are too luxurious in their food,

In taverns more than churches take delight,
