Having delivered a sermon on the patience of Job, a parson loses his temper with a servant who has spilled a cask of ale. When reproached by his wife the parson asks "Did Job e'er lose a Barrel of such Ale?" "Twas at some country place, a Parson preaching, / The virtue of long sufferance was teaching; / And so pathetically did exhort / His list'ning Congregation, and in short / Discoursed so much of Job, and how he bore / with such exceeding pleasantry his woes, / Faith twas enough to make a man suppose / Job wished for more.".
