Qui Capit, ever discontented,

Envious, jealous, disaffected:

To stigmatise our Vicar's toils,

The stigma on himself recoils.

Who is he satirical and vain?

His unjust impudence of what avail?

Qui Capit, know, that God, all just,

Ne'er means his creatures to be curs'd.

You honour the Church, Qui Capit,--no!

Who can believe it?--'tis not so!--

"Virtuo consistit in actione."

Sir, henceforth, learn to mend your manners,

And ne'er insult your betters.

JUNIUS.
