[Concluding a lengthy letter on religion to the editor the
writer quotes 'Mr. Butler's canto':]
  When tinkers bawl'd aloud to settle
  Church discipline, for patching kettle.
  No sow gelder did blow his horn, 
  To geld a cat, but cry'd reform.
  The oyster women locked their fish up, 
  And trudg'd away to cry no bishop.
