Greek Play Bishops
Geoge Crabbe (1754-1832), The Borough, Letter IV, lines 349-356:

So much to duties: now to learning look,
And see their priesthood piling book on book;
Yea, books of infidels, we're told, and plays,
Put out by heathens in the wink'd-on days;
The very letters are of crooked kind,
And show the strange perverseness of their mind.
Have I this learning? When the Lord would speak,
Think ye he needs the Latin or the Greek?
