[ We have received from another correspondent , on the same subject , the following parody on the well known ode of Sir William Jones , ? What constitutes a State ? ' ] What constitutes a Bishop ? Not stipend large of twenty thousand pounds ; Not purpose strong , to fish up Forg-otten tithes from the poor peasants' grounds ; Not wig , and lawn , and stall , Where laughing- in their sleeves they snugly sit ; Not pride that looks on all The whole broad world , as made to worship it . No : —worth , contented worth , With soul as far above the cares that haunt Court , church , camp , and so forth , As is the good they lack o ' er that they vaunt . Worth that its own ne ' er heeds , Nor glares at other ' s wealth with open sockets ; Worth that the hungry feeds , And loves the poor , nor seeks to pick their pockets , This should a bishop have ! And charity , ( of God ' s own self a part , ) That far o ' er land and wave Shines like a sun to warm the human heart . Touch'd by her sapred beam , The clouds of hate and strife change into light ; Hope borrows from her gleam , Triumphant faith bows at her presence bright . Such is the Christian ' s dower , Dearer than all the wealth that earth can give ; Shall men pervert their power ? Shall numbers suffer that the few may thrive ? Since those who win must toil , And those must conquer who the right maintain , Firmly bear on awhile , Nor yield while others weal is thine to gain .
