EPIGRAM ON BISHOP HOUGH, by                 Poet Analysis     Poet's Biography
First Line: A bishop, by his neighbors hates
Last Line: And whither enoch went before him.
Subject(s): Hough, John. Bishop Of Worcester


A bishop by his Neighbours hated
Has Cause to wish himself translated.
But why shou'd Hough desire Translation,
Lov'd and esteem'd by all the Nation?
Yet if it be the old Man's Case,
I'll lay my Life, I know the Place:
'Tis where God sent some that adore him,
And whither Enoch went before him.
