Yes, it was bad. But what is worse

They know not yet who broke the code,

And the dread Chiswick Fathers' curse

Still hovers sadly, unbestowed

Nay, there are wild false tales about

And hideous accusations made;

Men say old Piper led the rout

With that young fellow from "The Glade,"

While old maids murmur with a tear,

"I'm told it was the Rector, dear."
