Ye Who Adore God's Vicar While He Saith

by Walter Savage Landor 1775–1864

From Works and Life, ed. Forster, vol. VIII (1876)

Religion

Ye who adore God's Vicar while he saith,
Blessed be every lie that props the faith,
Draw ye from Peter's fish no purer oil
To feed your Lamp? In vain then do ye toil.
