"Of other care they little reckoning make,
Than how to scramble at the shearers' feast.
_Blind mouths_--"
I pause again, for this is a strange expression; a broken metaphor, one
might think, careless and unscholarly.
Not so: its very audacity and pithiness are intended to make us look
close at the phrase and remember it. Those two monosyllables express
the precisely accurate contraries of right character, in the two great
offices of the Church--those of bishop and pastor.
