THE METHODIST . MAY 1770. SAYS Tom to Jack , 'tis very odd , These Representatives of God , In Color , way of life and evil , Sould be so very like the Devil . Jack , understand , was one of those , Who mould Religion in the Nose , A red hot Methodist ; his face Was full of Puritanic Grace , His loose lank hair , his slow gradation , Declar'd a late Regeneration ; Among the daughters long renown'd , For standing upon holy ground ; Never in carnal battle beat , Tho' sometimes forc'd to a retreat . But C—t , Hero as he is , Knight of incomparable phiz , When pliant Doxy seems to yield , Courageously forsakes the field . Jack , or to write more gravely , John Thro' Hills of Wesley's Works had gone ; Could sing one hundred Hymns by rote ; Hymns which will sanctify the throte : But some indeed compos'd so odly , You'd swear 'twas bawdy Songs made Godly .
