Upon persecuting it with Cat-calls.

When to Molock of old, by way of Oblation
Any Jew of his Son made a wicked Donation.
329

The Priesthood with Trumpets and Drums made a Noise
To stifle his Groans, and extinguish his Cries.
Thus our fierce modern Heroes, those Jews of the Pit,
When to damn a poor Author's Attempt, they think fit,
With Cat-calls so dreadful the House they alarm,
Lest the Wit of the Play should their Fury disarm:
Howe'er they may pass with the rest of the Nation,
Tho' their Malice I blame, I commend their Discretion.
For 'tis but convenient you'll readily own,
That the Beast should perform, what the Man wou'd disown.
