"A monk there was, a mighty one,/Who rode about and loved to hunt./Why should he scramble his brains all night,/Poring over dry and dusty sermons?/Why toil with his hands as Augustine bid?/How then would the world be served?/Let Augustine have his work for him reserved!/And so he rode his horses hard."
