On the Promotion of Dr. T--- to the See of Ca---ry.

When Nebat's fam'd Son undertook the old Cause,
Of delivering ten Tribes from Slavery to Laws;
Lest the Job should be spoil'd, or done but by halves,
He took his Priests from the Mob, and his God from the Calves.
But our Hero more wise, the Deliverers outvy'd all,
Made a Calf the High-Priest, and himself the Calf's Idol.
