From thence, where many did of wrongs complain,
(And, where, to right them, some few strove in vain)
I was retir'd, as far as I could go,
From hearing, what Knaves, Fools, and mad men do;
Expecting no such influence from heaven
As now appears, till nights and daies were even:
About which time (though why I do not know)
I look'd for something, like what's happen'd now:
But, Rumor, which is flutt'ring ev'ry whither,
Hath of a quicker change brought tidings hither:
Whereon, a greater change will soon ensue,
If probable conjectures may be true.
