Some sow good seeds in the glad people's hearts
Some, cursed tares, like Satan in the text:
This makes a foe most fatal to the state;
A foe who, (like a wizard in his cell,)
In his dark cabinet of crooked schemes,
Resembling Cuma's gloomy grot, the forge
Of boasted oracles and real lies,—
Aided, perhaps, by second-sighted Scots,
French Magi, relics riding post from Rome,
A Gothic hero rising from the dead,
And changing for spruce plaid his dirty shroud,
With succour suitable from lower still,—
A foe who, these concurring to the charm,
Excites those storms that shall o'erturn the state,
Rend up her ancient honours by the root,
And lay the boast of ages, the revered
Of nations, the dear-bought with sumless wealth
And blood illustrious, (spite of her La Hogues,
Her Cressys, and her Blenheims,) in the dust.
