Pray Madam let me silence break As I have you now hear me speak These stories sure must please you well You 're apt so often them to tell But if you 'll smooth your brow a while And turn that Pout into a Smile I doubt not but to make 't appear That you the great'st Agressor are I took you with an empty Purse Which was to me no trivial Curse No dowry could your Parents give They'd but a Competence to live When you appear'd your charming Eyes As you relate did me surprize With Wonder not with Admiration Astonishment but no Temptation Nor did I see in all your frame Ought could create an amorous flame Or raise the least Desire in me Save only for Variety I paid such service as was due Worthy my self and worthy you Caress'd you far above the rate Both of your Birth and your Estate When soon I found your haughty mind Was unto Sov'reignty inclin'd And first you practis'd over me The heavy Yoke of Tyranny While I your Property was made And you not I was still obey'd Nor durst I call my Soul my own You manag'd me as if I 'd none I took such measures as you gave All day your Fool all night your Slave Nor was Ambition bounded here You still resolv'd your course to steer All that oppose you you remove 'T was much you 'd own the Powers above Now several Stratagems you try And I 'm in all forc'd to comply To Mother Church you take recourse She tells you ' tmust be done by force And you impatient of delay Contrive and execute the way When mounted to the place you sought It no Contentment with it brought One Tree within your Prospect stood Fairest and tallest of the Wood Which to your Prospect gave offence And it must be remov'd from thence In this you also are obey'd While all the Fault on me is laid Now you was quiet for a while As flattering Weather seems to smile 'Till buzzing Beetles of the Night Had found fresh matter for your spite And set to work your busie Brain Which took Fire quickly from their Train Some wise some valiant you remove ' Cause they your Maxims don't approve And in their stead such Creatures place Which to th Employments brings Disgrace While whatsoe'er you do I own And still the dirt on me is thrown Strait new Chimera's fill your Brain The humming Beetles buz again A Goal-Delivery now must be All tender Consciences set free Not out of Zeal but pure Design To make Dissenters with us joyn To pull down Test and Penal Laws The Bulwark of the Hereticks Cause The sly Dissenters laugh the while They see where lurks the Serpents guile And rather than with us comply VVill on our Enemies rely The Chieftains of the Protestant Cause VVe did confine though ' gainst the Laws But soon was glad to
