REPLY TO AN INVITATION, by                     Poet's Biography
First Line: St. Peter is the cornerstone
Last Line: In such a mackination.
Alternate Author Name(s): Father Tabb
Subject(s): Churches; Cathedrals


St. Peter is the cornerstone;
And if you build on Paul,
I greatly fear
Ere many a year
Your church is doomed to fall.

So, pray excuse, if I refuse
To heed your invitation,
And have no heart
To take a part
In such a Mackination.
