I appear'd
before the archbishop,
And all the
high commission;
I
gave him no grace,
But told him to
his face,
That he
favour'd superstition.
Boldly I
preach, hate a cross, hate a surplice,
Mitres, copes, and
rochets;
Come hear
me pray nine times a day,
And fill your
heads with crotchets.
-"
Reliques of Ancient English Poetry."
