[At end of article on clergy.]
  Observe the rev'rend preacher in the gown
  (Less zealous for God's interest than his own)
  Weighs law of tythes and dues with apt discernment, 
  And studies strenuously to get preferment:
  But should the pamper'd hyp'crite grow too great, 
  He'd reign a tyrant o'er both church and state.
