IMPROMPTU,
IN ADMIRATION OF THE DOWNY LUXURIANCE FAINTLY SHADOWING THE LOWER HEMISPHERE OF AN HEAVENLY COUNTENANCE.
Saint Thomas Aquinas all angels supposesWith beards are provided as well as with noses:
Yet no text has been found to confirm what he saith,
And make it an item of orthodox faith.—
Sure to help a lame Saint o'er a stile is no sin!
“You 'll find chapter and verse, Tom, on Caroline's chin.”
