As chase or chancel led the way,

With shaven crown and cassock gray;

The fourth, a publican, sorry elf!

Who cared for no one but himself;

And the last, a chield, as we often ken,

Unknowing their ways in the walks of men.

And these departed homeward all,

Far holier than they came;

For the sights which their visions did appall—

The signs and sights in the haunted hall—
