The Curll Miscellanies. II. Bishop Hough

A BISHOP, by his neighbors hated,

Has cause to wish himself translated;

But why should Hough desire translation,

Loved and esteem’d by all the nation?

Yet if it be the old man’s case,

I ’ll lay my life I know the place:

’T is where God sent some that adore him,

And whither Enoch went before him.
