1 What are the things which constitute
Society that's good?
My answers falacy confute,
And easy understood.

2 Then must they be, both he & she
Of a peculiar sect?
Yes surely so, & they must grow
In their esteem erect.

3 And must they be full pharisee
Dispising all beside?
Yes, that's the name they ought to claim
And in that faith confide.

4 Must they all love to sore above
With mammon for their God?
Yes, & with frown on all look down
Submissive at their nod.

5 Must the males love to wear the glove
And hat above the lug?
Yes when the pray on preaching day
Or steal a negroe's Jug.
Must they in view be temperate too
Not tasting alcohol?
Yes, but when dark may toe the mark
And stagger till they fall.
