altum aedificat caput	A
JUVENAL	B

Hail reverent Hat sublime mid all	B
The minor felts that round thee grovel	B
Thou that the Gods a Delta call	B
While meaner mortals call the shovel	B
When on thy shape like pyramid	C
Cut horizontally in two	D
I raptured gaze what dreams unbid	C
Of stalls and mitres bless my view	D
	-
That brim of brims so sleekly good	C
Not flapt like dull Wesleyans' down	E
But looking as all churchmen's should	C
Devoutly upward towards the crown	E
	-
Gods when I gaze upon that brim	F
So redolent of Church all over	G
What swarms of Tithes in vision dim	F
Some pig tailed some like cherubim	F
With ducklings' wings around it hover	G
Tenths of all dead and living things	H
That Nature into being brings	H
From calves and corn to chitterlings	H
	-
Say holy Hat that hast of cocks	I
The very cock most orthodox	I
To which of all the well fed throng	J
Of Zion joy'st thou to belong	J
Thou'rt not Sir Harcourt Lees's no	K
For hats grow like the heads that wear 'em	F
And hats on heads like his would grow	K
Particularly harum scarum	F
	-
Who knows but thou mayst deck the pate	C
Of that famed Doctor Ad mth te	C
The reverend rat whom we saw stand	C
On his hind legs in Westmoreland	C
Who changed so quick from blue to yellow	K
And would from yellow back to blue	D
And back again convenient fellow	K
If 'twere his interest so to do	D
	-
Or haply smartest of triangles	L
Thou art the hat of Doctor Owen	M
The hat that to his vestry wrangles	L
That venerable priest doth go in	N
And then and there amid the stare	O
Of all St Olave's takes the chair	O
And quotes with phiz right orthodox	I
The example of his reverend brothers	P
To prove that priests all fleece their flocks	I
And he must fleece as well as others	P
	-
Blest Hat whoe'er thy lord may be	C
Thus low I take off mine to thee	C
The homage of a layman's castor	G
To the spruce delta of his pastor	G
Oh mayst thou be as thou proceedest	D
Still smarter cockt still brusht the brighter	G
Till bowing all the way thou leadest	D
Thy sleek possessor to a mitre	C
