A popular equality doth seem

The Chancel only shewed
So privileged of yore, without offence
To piety, some marks of earthly state
And vain distinction,
Allowed by ancient privilege; though in sooth
With the pure sanctity the place should breathe
But ill according. A capacious pew
Of sculptured oak stood here, with drapery lined
And curtained closely round. Obnoxious less
To blame or unavoidable regret,
A high fixed hatchment, time-discoloured, told
Of man's mortality and its own decay. C.
Some vain distinctions, an heraldic shield,
In tincture varying as the sun might shine,
Imbued its eastern window, and aloft
A faded hatchment hung, and one by time
Yet undiscoloured, marks of earthly state. C.
