THE Insatiable PRIEST.
I
Luke Preach-Ill, admires what we laymen can mean,That thus by our profit and pleasure are sway'd;
He has but three livings, and would be a Dean,
His wife dy'd this year, He has marry'd His maid.
II
To suppress all His carnal desires in their birth,At all hours a lusty young hussy is near;
And to take off His thought from the things of this earth,
He can be content with two thousand a year.
