God heard the embattled nations sing and shout
"Gott strafe England" and "God save the King!"
God this, God that, and God the other thing –
"Good God!" said God, "I've got my work cut out!"

But I'm not so think as you drunk I am.

The lewd forefathers of the village sleep.

It did not last: the devil, shouting "Ho.
Let Einstein be," restored the status quo.

It did not last: the Devil howling 'Ho!
Let Einstein be!' restored the status quo.

In continuation of Pope on Newton (1926)
