T' applaud the matter, yet he lik'd the aire;
But his disturbed thoughts were all this while
Boyling with rage to hear himself call'd vile:
And now he (like a blood-hound) sents about;
To see if he can find this party out,
Who sent this pleasing, most displeasing Song
Into his ears; he had not hunted long
Before was represented to his sight
(Which indeed pleas'd him not) an armed Knight
Who with undaunted courage thus exprest
Himself: What are ye Friends that have transgrest
Our strict-kept Laws; go back, look up, and see
That fair Inscription, read your destinie;
With that Dimagoras lifting up his head,
Observes th' Inscription, stares upon't, and read
To this effect.
