Those Parsons of old are no longer seen here;
Now no more do they hamper this nation.
They are all gone the way of Herr Breitmann his beer;
They have ceased to obstruct education.
The Church has grown broad, throwing open each door,
Which, the bigot except, each one enters,
And we now, in the place of the Parsons of yore,
Behold cross-grained and jealous Dissenters.
