The Faculty at the Gate The faculty toiled up to Peter's Gate. Mistrusting, fearful of impending fate, They rolled from out their ranks the hardened Stone To chance the catechism first, alone. St. Peter looked his record up, then spoke: One sin you have marked here, you're always brok Stone answered, Saint, I can explain the cause: 'A rolling Stone can seldom gather moss. ' And then the Churchman sleek the gate drew nigh, He who was wont to do away with II: He entered, for on earth he loved to talk Of square and straight, and followed lines of chalk. And next our portly Orator essaved To gain Elysium's care-dispelling shade, To gain admittance he was forced to wait Until the Saint had wider made the gate. The Painter of Madonnas now appears, But, as the Saint brings forth a pair of shears, The' Painter cries: In Heaven I will not stop, el Unless, good Saint, you leave me with my crop l Andwhen the Painter through the gate had gone, Good Proper came, with his improper yawn. The Saint, in pity, sent him, not to strife, But gave to him. 'a couch and restful life. And then our Song-bird, diffident, reserved, When asked why he the meed of I-Ieaven deserved, Replied: All over Jersey I am blessed For lnllabying 'skeeters to their rest. A The Chief and Loeb then knocked at Peter's gate. It may not be respectful to relate That they, to gain admittance, practised wiles:- They dazzled Peter with expansive smiles. And so the.rest, a long and various train, Some passed, new crowns and joys of life to gain, While others went to places where--but halt! On earth at least we'll spare to name their fault.
