IMPROMPTU,

IN ADMIRATION OF THE DOWNY LUXURIANCE FAINTLY SHADOWING THE LOWER HEMISPHERE OF AN HEAVENLY COUNTENANCE.

Saint Thomas Aquinas all angels supposes
With 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.”

A celebrated teacher of school-divinity in the universities of Italy, about the middle of the thirteenth century, commonly called the Angelical Doctor.
