Look look master here comes two religious caterpillarsA
The Jew of MaltaB
-
PolyphiloprogenitiveC
The sapient sutlers of the LordD
Drift across the window panesE
In the beginning was the WordF
-
In the beginning was the WordF
Superfetation ofC
And at the mensual turn of timeG
Produced enervate OrigenH
-
A painter of the Umbrian schoolI
Designed upon a gesso groundJ
The nimbus of the Baptized GodK
The wilderness is cracked and brownedJ
-
But through the water pale and thinH
Still shine the unoffending feetL
And there above the painter setM
The Father and the ParacleteM
-
The sable presbyters approachN
The avenue of penitenceE
The young are red and pustularO
Clutching piaculative penceE
-
Under the penitential gatesE
Sustained by staring SeraphimG
Where the souls of the devoutM
Burn invisible and dimG
-
Along the garden wall the beesE
With hairy bellies pass betweenH
The staminate and pistilateM
Blest office of the epiceneH
-
Sweeney shifts from ham to hamG
Stirring the water in his bathP
The masters of the subtle schoolsE
Are controversial polymathP
