A little after great Mercurius fell,
***
Gownsmen and Townsmen throng'd the water's edge
To gaze upon the dreadful sacrilege:
***
------there with drooping mien a silent band
Canons and Bedmaker together stand:--
***
In equal horror all alike were seen,
And shuddering scouts forgot to cap the Dean.
