LOng I liv'd in Dark Privation 'Mongst the Offal of the Nation, Not a Man of Observation, Wou'd admit my Conversation, 'Till at length a Reformation Was Resolv'd, by Combination Of some Men, whose quick Sensation Told Them, to Infatuation They must owe their whole Creation; These to Me made Application With an Ample Toleration, For all Sly Insinuation, Cunning, Trick, Equivocation, And most solemn Protestation With a Mental Reservation. I who knew my Reputation, Not one Sous in Valuation, Yielded to their Demonstration. Being call'd on for Probation Of my Parts on this Occasion, I aloud made Proclamation; That Impending Desolation, From Fanatic Obduration, Threatned us with Extirpation, Whilst false Brethren's Retrogation, Joyn'd with their Abomination. Summon'd for Prevarication, In my insolent Oration, By the Realms Representation, My fast Friends such Mitigation Offer'd to each Accusation; And, to move the Ladies Passion, Penn'd me such a Declaration, Which my soft Pronounciation Put so wonderful a Grace on, That upon th' Imagination, 'T work'd like Transubstantiation; For tho' Fam'd for Violation Of each sacred Obligation, Avarice, Pride, Adulation, Envy, Malice, Prophanation, And all Marks of Reprobation; In a Moments Variation, From the Blackest Reputation, I arose (by Transformation) A White, Innocent Oblation: Nay their Praise to Adoration Rais'd, They call'd me their Salvation. But at length th' Exorbitation, (Swelling, to Impostumation) Broke in Stench and Suffocation: And my Virtue's Aggregation Vanish'd like an Exhalation. Now 'twas found my Affectation For the Churche's sure Foundation, Was all Trick and Machination, To induce a Speculation, Might secure the Exaltation Of some Men, then out of Fashion. Tables turn'd thus to amaze one. Were I blest but with Persuasion, M--ta---ue wou'd let me graze on, I wou'd to Life's Termination Be--- (by Heaven) for Moderation.
