 THE POPE'S ALLOCUTION.

MY reverend friends, I grieve to say,
Our prospects darken every day;
In short, there's the dickens and all to pay !
 CHORus OF VENERABLE BRETHREN:-
 Which nobody can deny, deny,
 Which nobody can deny.
Bishops away from their sees are packed;
Churches are pillaged and burnt; in fact,
Bishops and churches alike are sacked!
 VENERABLE BRETHREN:-
 Which nobody can deny, deny,
 Which nobody can deny.
They say I'm a tool in the hands of another,
A puppet, controlled by an eminent brother,
A puling, feeble-headed old mother!
 VENERABLE BRETHREN (from sheer force of hLabit):-
 Which nobody can deny,-
 POPE (interrupting) :-Eh ?
 VENERABLE BRETHREN (correcting themselves) :-
 Which all of us here deny, deny,
 Which all of us here.deny,
But isn't it cheering to Teflect,
My darling people can't detect,
In their old PoPY the least defect?
 VENERABLE BRETHREN:-
 Which nobody can deny, deny,
 Which nobody can deny.
You've seen how eagerly all obey
My faintest wish-I'm proud to say,
I'm clearly the popular man of the day!
 VENERABLE BRETHREN withl finge's placed against
 noses, and owinling furiously at each other) :-
 Which nobody can deny, deny,
 Which nobody can deny.
