ON HEARING A LADY PRAISE A CERTAIN REV. DOCTOR'S EYES by GEORGE OUTRAM

First Line: I CANNOT PRAISE THE DOCTOR'S EYES, / I NEVER SAW HIS GLANCE DIVINE;
Last Line: AND WHEN HE PREACHES HE SHUTS MINE.
I cannot praise the Doctor's eyes,
I never saw his glance divine;
He always shuts them when he prays
And when he preaches he shuts mine.
