The Rev Isaiah Bunter has disappeared into the interior ofA
the Solomon Islands and it is feared that he may have beenB
devoured by the natives as there has been a considerableC
revival of religious customs among the Polynesians AD

It was Isaiah BunterF
Who sailed to the world's endG
And spread religion in a wayH
That he did not intendG
-
He gave if not the gospel feastI
At least a ritual mealJ
And in a highly painful senseK
He was devoured with zealJ
-
And who are we as Henson saysL
That we should close the doorF
And should not EvangelicalsM
All jump at shedding GoreF
-
And many a man will melt in manN
Becoming one not twoO
When smacks across the startled earthP
The Kiss of KikuyuQ
-
When Man is the Turk and the AtheistR
Essene Erastian WhigS
And the Thug and the Druse and the CatholicT
And the crew of the Captain's gigS
