An Epig. on the people of England.
Sweating and chafing hot Ardelio cryesA Boat a Boat, else farwel all the prize.
But having once set foot upon the deep
Hotspur Ardelio fell fast a sleep.
So we, on fire with zealous discontent,
Call'd out a Parliament, a Parliament.
Which being obtain'd at last, what did they doe?
Even squeez the wool-packs, & lye snorting too.
