THE CLERGY AND THE CORN-

LAWS.

Our pious Clergy, °he and all, •
Do offer prayers to Heaven,
That God may still the hungry cry,
And daily bread be given.
But when we strive that boon to get,
Which soon would reach our land,
Our Clergy all (save one") refuse
To lend a helping hand.
How can those worthy Pastors think,
They'll do the soul much good,
Whilst they with grasping hands withhold
The body's needful food ?
And for what end—now let me ask
Are Heaven's kind gifts deny'd
To countless numbers ?--That a few
With lux'ries be supply'd.
Then will they ask God to provide
For all that are distressed 1
The widow, and the fatherless,
The desolate, and oppress'd I
And when
we
may
Ilesetnhdesmenjoy
e earth's.kindly fruits,
Will they, to thwart them (strange to think)
Such wicked means employ?
When Bounteous God in plenty gives,
His creatures' wants to meet,
Is it for man—for tyrant man—
His goodness to defeat ?
