And now quoth the goddess in accents jocose	A
Having got good materials I'll brew such a dose	A
Of Double X mischief as mortals shall say	A
They've not known its equal for many a long day	A
Here she winkt to her subaltern imps to be steady	B
And all wagged their fire tipt tails and stood ready	B
	-
So now for the ingredients first hand me that bishop	C
Whereupon a whole bevy of imps run to fish up	C
From out a large reservoir wherein they pen 'em	D
The blackest of all its black dabblers in venom	D
And wrapping him up lest the virus should ooze	A
And one drop of the immortal Right Rev they might lose	A
In the sheets of his own speeches charges reviews	A
Pop him into the caldron while loudly a burst	E
From the by standers welcomes ingredient the first	E
	-
Now fetch the Ex Chancellor muttered the dame	F
He who's called after Harry the Older by name	F
The Ex Chancellor echoed her imps the whole crew of 'em	D
Why talk of one Ex when your Mischief has two of 'em	D
True true said the hag looking arch at her elves	A
And a double Ex dose they compose in themselves	A
This joke the sly meaning of which was seen lucidly	G
Set all the devils a laughing most deucedly	G
So in went the pair and what none thought surprising	H
Showed talents for sinking as great as for rising	H
While not a grim phiz in that realm but was lighted	I
With joy to see spirits so twin like united	I
Or plainly to speak two such birds of a feather	J
In one mess of venom thus spitted together	J
Here a flashy imp rose some connection no doubt	K
Of the young lord in question and scowling about	K
Hoped his fiery friend Stanley would not be left out	K
As no schoolboy unwhipt the whole world must agree	B
Loved mischief pure mischief more dearly than he	B
	-
But no the wise hag wouldn't hear of the whipster	B
Not merely because as a shrew he eclipst her	B
And nature had given him to keep him still young	L
Much tongue in his head and no head in his tongue	L
But because she well knew that for change ever ready	B
He'd not even to mischief keep properly steady	B
That soon even the wrong side would cease to delight	M
And for want of a change he must swerve to the right	M
While on each so at random his missiles he threw	B
That the side he attackt was most safe of the two	B
This ingredient was therefore put by on the shelf	N
There to bubble a bitter hot mess by itself	N
And now quoth the hag as her caldron she eyed	O
And the tidbits so friendlily rankling inside	O
There wants but some seasoning so come ere I stew 'em	D
By way of a relish we'll throw in John Tuam '	-
In cooking up mischief there's no flesh or fish	P
Like your meddling High Priest to add zest to the dish	P
Thus saying she pops in the Irish Grand Lama	Q
Which great event ends the First Act of the Drama	Q
