Wayne Sentinel (Palmyra, New York) (1 January 1831).
. . .
While gospel thunders are abroad,
And “Church and State” is all the word;
When drum and trumpet, orthodox,
Are sounder loud to call their flocks;
When money, once “the root of evil,”
Is hoarded up to fight the d---l;
While Rigdon, dipt in many waters,
Preaches Gold Bible to the loafers;
The heart grows sad and splenetic,
And man enacts the “monkey sick.”
