On hearing that the French had melted down their images to purchase artillery.
Says a Rev. Priest to his less Rev. friend,Where at length will the crimes of these French villains end,
38
And convert into damnable engines of Hell?
Prithee why, quoth his friend, are you so much surprized,
That Saints had their desert and were all—canonized.
