Twelve Prophets ...
... our unlearn'd forefathers knew,
We are scarce satisfy'd with twenty-two.
A single Psalmist was enough for them,
our list of authors rivals A. and M.
They were content Mark, Matthew, Luke, and John
Should bless th' old-fashion'd beds they lay upon:
But we, for ev'ry one of theirs have two,
And trust the watchfulness of Blessed Q.
(Mgr. Ronald A. Knox, from Oxford Poetry 1910 to 1913, Oxford, Blackwell, 1913)
