Sir Robert Peel believed it was necessary to originate all respecting religion and trade in a Committee of the House	A
Church Extension May	B
	-
	-
Say who was the wag indecorously witty	C
Who first in a statute this libel conveyed	D
And thus slyly referred to the selfsame committee	C
As matters congenial Religion and Trade	D
	-
Oh surely my Phillpotts 'twas thou didst the deed	E
For none but thyself or some pluralist brother	F
Accustomed to mix up the craft with the creed	E
Could bring such a pair thus to twin with each other	F
	-
And yet when one thinks of times present and gone	G
One is forced to confess on maturer reflection	H
That 'tisn't in the eyes of committees alone	I
That the shrine and the shop seem to have some connection	H
	-
Not to mention those monarchs of Asia's fair land	J
Whose civil list all is in god money paid	D
And where the whole people by royal command	J
Buy their gods at the government mart ready made	D
	-
There was also as mentioned in rhyme and in prose is	K
Gold heaped throughout Egypt on every shrine	L
To make rings for right reverend crocodiles' noses	K
Just such as my Phillpotts would look well in thine	L
	-
But one needn't fly off in this erudite mood	M
And 'tis clear without going to regions so sunny	C
That priests love to do the least possible good	N
For the largest most possible quantum of money	C
	-
Of him saith the text unto whom much is given	H
Of him much in turn will be also required	O
By me quoth the sleek and obese man of heaven	H
Give as much as you will more will still be desired	O
	-
More money more churches oh Nimrod hadst thou	P
'Stead of Tower extension some shorter way gone	G
Hadst thou known by what methods we mount to heaven now	P
And tried Church extension the feat had been done	H
