Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from A Friar's Scourge: Nonsense Verses
A Friar's Scourge.
Jove sat one day in melancholy mood,
His temper evidently far from good,
With brow much wrinkled, and a face quite pale,
Which heretofore had been extremely hale.

All the result of petty human passions.
"Oh! if I were a mortal, and could die,
To have no endless by and bye!
