The worthy Bishop said, "My friend, no doubt
The Stage may be the place you make it out;
But if, my Reverend Sowls, you never go,
I don't quite understand how you're to know."
"Well, really," Micah said,
"I've often heard and read,
But never go—do you?"
The Bishop said, "I do."
"That proves me wrong," said Micah, in a trice;
"I thought it all frivolity and vice."
