  2. Thro' Ferns Town

    Here are other verses from Grannell, the Poet, levelled at the Ferns, bigots.
    Thro' Ferns Town
    i
    Through Fern's Town as I did pass
    I saw a Bible-braying ass
    He wore no tail nor shoulder cross
    But he cut a curious caper
    11
    "His reverence" he got on his shanks
    Began to read some Bible pranks
    I really thought he'd strain his flanks
    To kick the Rock of Peter
