REPLY TO AN INVITATION by JOHN BANISTER TABB

First Line: ST. PETER IS THE CORNERSTONE
Last Line: IN SUCH A MACKINATION.
Subject(s): CHURCHES; CATHEDRALS;
St. Peter is the cornerstone;
And if you build on Paul,
I greatly fear
Ere many a year
Your church is doomed to fall.

So, pray excuse, if I refuse
To heed your invitation,
And have no heart
To take a part
In such a Mackination.
