On Smart.

A puritan once; Smart, since conform'd did bow,
Wore a Canonick cassock to his shooe:
Turn'd with the tide he rails 'gainst Bishops now;
This for a quiet living Smart can do:
Instead of Cassock now a cloack he wears,
A broad hat with short hair and longer ears.
As th'Sun moves he sets his Horoscope:
Smart's both a turn coat now, and Heliotrope.
