This Vicar was clearly determined never to lose his job, to heck with principles!
In good King Charles' golden days, when loyalty no harm meant,
A zealous high church-man was I, and so I got preferment.
To teach my flock I never missed, Kings were by God appointed,
and lost are those that do resist, or touch the Lord's annointed.
And this is law, I will maintain, untill my dying day, sir,
that whatsoever King may reign, still I'll be the Vicar of Bray, sir.
