The Sages of old, in Prophecy told the cause of a Nations undoeing But the true English breed, no Prophets doe need, for each man here seeks his own ruin, By grumbling & Jars, we promote Civill warrs and preach up false Tenets too many, wee snarle, & wee bite, wee raile & wee fight for Religion yet no man has any.
Then him letts Commend, That's true to his Friend, And a Miss that can't wittily prattle, That delights not in blood But draws when he shou'd And bravely nere shrinks from a Battle. That rails not at Kings, Nor at Pollitick things, Nor Treason does speak when hees mellow But takes a full glass, To his Masters Success This this is the honest brave Fellow.
