The Bishop

I will smite the Shepherd, and the Sheep of the Flock shall be scattered abroad.

Matthew xxvi. 31. Mark xiv. 27.

The Pastor, void of all Defence,
My Pow’r, says Death, shall own;
By me, his Mitre and his Staff,
Shall to the Ground be thrown.

His Sheep, their Pastor thus remov’d,
By Death’s fell Pow’r, away,
Shall be dispersed ev’ry one,
To prowling Wolves a Prey.
