Ah, what was that groan!—
'twas the Head of the Church,
When he found she was come—
for he dreaded a search
Into what he'd been doing:
and sorely afraid, for
What she might find out,
cried 'I'll not have her pray'd for';
And the B———ps, obeying their pious Head,
care took
That the name of his wife
should be out of the prayer book!
