Chapter 152 THE PREACHER.

He preached upon "breadth" till it argued him narrow, -

The broad are too broad to define;

And of "truth" until it proclaimed him a liar, -

The truth never flaunted a sign.

Simplicity fled from his counterfeit presence

As gold the pyrites would shun.

What confusion would cover the innocent Jesus

To meet so enabled a man!
