That parsons do not care for truth.

History is a pack of lies.
What cause for judgements so malign?

And Kingsley goes to Froude for History.

Death has been the great leveler/ Of all honour, glory and name./ None can take anything with them/ To their tomb! Death! The sobering fact/ Of all our yearnings and longings!/ “What does it profit a man …”/ If he cannot take any of the things/ To his grave.
