9. On Saule and David .
Svre, Saul as little lookd to be a King,As I: and David dreamd of such a thing,
As much as he; when both alike did keepe,
The one his Fathers Asses; t'other, Sheepe:
Saul must forsake his Whip: And David flings
His Crooke aside; And they must both be Kings:
Saul had no Sword; and David, then, no Speare;
There was none Conquer'd, nor no Conqu'ror there;
There was no Sweat; There was no Blood, to shed;
The unsought Crowne besought the wearers head;
There was no Stratagem; No Opposition;
No taking parts; No iealous Competition:
There needs no Art; There needs no Sword to bring,
And place the Crown, where God appoints the King.
