SAID the State to the prelate your pay we will withhold. Smiled the priest in reply, I scorn your pow'er and gold, You use your godless might with heavy cruel hand, But back your gifts I fling, nor care for your command, Nor need our Church fear want; aye, money will be found. And free 'twill be given—since rich Jews do here abound. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...ALL LIFE IN A LIFE by EDGAR LEE MASTERS FOUR POEMS ABOUT JAMAICA: 3.
