Acynical English poet gives this as tho
modern adoption Of the decalogue:
Thou shalt have one God oply-who
Would be at the expesss Of two7
No craven images may be
Worsbipped except the currency:
Swear not al. for, thy curse,
Thine enemy 10 rome the worse:
At church on Sunday to attend
win serve 70 kssp the world thy friend:
Honor thy passnts: thae 10 III
From whom advancement may bsfsn;
Thou shalt not kin, but needst not strive
OnlCiously TO keep alive;
Do not adultery commit
Advantage rarely come Of It;
Thou shalt not steal. AN empty feat
When It's 70 lucrative to cheat;
Bear not false w:tness-let the lie
Have time on ito own wings to ny;
Thou shalt not c0vst, but tradition
Approves al forms decomposition
Somewhat irrevercnt, but smacking not q
little of the flavor Of 1873.
