THE RAT-TRAP:
OR, THE Way to catch a POLITICIAN. AN EPIGRAM.
Qui capit, ille facit.
With Hand on double Heart, and uplift Eyes,
The sly designing Politician cries,
“For my dear Country's Good I toil all Day,
“And wear in tedious Thought the Night away”:
Now, if aright this Man I understand,
'Tis for his own dear Country House, and Land.
