Once Faith , if ope , and Charity , traversed the land , In sisterfeo 6 d ' s uninterrupted embraces . Performing their office of love hand in hand , Of the Christian world the appropriate graces . But tiffs since those primitive days have occurred , That threaten to sever this friendly relation , As may well be surmised when I state , word for word , ! The terms of their latest and worst altercation :
" Sister Charity , prythee allow me to state , " Cries Faith , in a tone of contemptuous sneering , " That while you affect to be meek and sedate , " Your Conduct is cunning , your tone domineering . " In the times that are gone , my world-harassing name , " Received some accession of strength ev ' ry hour " St Bartholomew's massacre hallowed my fame , " And Sicily ' s vespers asserted my power .
" When martyrs in multitudes rushed at my call , " To peril their lives for Theology's sake , " Mine too Was the voice that cried , ' * Sacrifice alii ' " With g ) a 6 l and with gibbet , with faggot ahd stake / " When the banner of orthodox slaughter was fiirl'd ^ ' " And subjects no more fronj each other disseitfed ^ " I set them at war with the rest of the world , ^ " Arid for centuries national struggles fomented .
" What are iall the great heroes on history ' s P § & " But puppets who figured as I pulled the string ? , u Crusades i eti ^ eridered in every age , , ^ " And Faith was the leader of arnlies and kings . ' " In tfe ^ e ( lays 6 f my ^ lory Hbpe followed vi y trjjtfkj ' In warfare a firin' anil impartial ally , , " For she cdhstantly jiktted both sides oil the l > acik , '• ' " Arift iirotrifeed theni lioth A r ^ waW iri the skjr ?
