[The Colonels here in solemn manner meet]

The Colonels here in solemn manner meet,
Not with a full Design the French to beat,
But to consult where they may nicely eat;
What Trusting Mortal sells the noblest Wine,
Where, free from Duns, they may securely dine.

[Tyrant and Traytor then were Names unknown]

Tyrant and Traytor then were Names unknown,
Nor Guards secur'd, nor Fears disturb'd a Throne:
Then Kings enjoy'd a long and happy Reign,
And slept as quiet as the meanest Swain;
Honour'd and Old, to Death did gently bend,
And without Blood to Proserpine descend.
