Luther--De Dæmonibus
From Complete Poetical Works, ed. E. H. Coleridge (1912)
Religion
'The angel's like a flea,
The devil is a bore;--'
No matter for that! quoth S. T. C.,
I love him the better therefore.
Yes! heroic Swan, I love thee even when thou gabblest like
a goose; for thy geese helped to save the Capitol.
