Vising others with a magnifying glass

Instead of praying, he sits on a perch


He thought love was in the rubric

When it was really written on the heart

Wormwood played him a good trick

How pitiable the man in the dark


Take note you unhappy churchman 

because the imperfectly consecrated hand

Can still fan the flame 

That is meant to light the land
