In vain do those, who heretofore
Our Liberties betray'd
Unto a wild Despotick Pow'r,
And level all our Fences laid:
In vain they talk of Property,
Or think to be believ'd;
Their Actions give their Tongue the lie:
Who can be thus deceiv'd?
Their vain pretence of publick Good
Is for sinister Ends;
And who the Dee'l, when understood,
Wou'd be such Villains friends?
They'd feed the Flock only to steal the Fleece;
When the Fox preaches, then beware the Geese.
