  1. CHURCH AND STATE
  2.  
  3. HERE is fresh matter, poet,
  4. Matter for old age meet;
  5. Might of the Church and the State,
  6. Their mobs put under their feet.
  7. O but heart's wine shall run pure,
  8. Mind's bread grow sweet.
  9. That were a cowardly song,
  10. Wander in dreams no more;
  11. What if the Church and the State
  12. Are the mob that howls at the door!
  13. Wine shall run thick to the end,
  14. Bread taste sour.
  15.
