TO THE GHOST OF ROBERT WISDOME[119].

Thou, once a body, now but aire,

Arch-botcher of a psalme or prayer,

From Carfax come;

And patch mee up a zealous lay,

With an old _ever and for ay_,

Or, _all and some_.

Or such a spirit lend mee,

As may a hymne downe send mee,

To purge my braine:

So, Robert, looke behind thee,

Least Turke or Pope doe find thee,

And goe to bed againe.
