This General, hath been a Royalist,
Engag'd against the publike Interest,
And, therefore, some suspitious are become
He may, at last, his first Cause re-assume:
But, that's improbable: For hitherto
He nothing seemeth to neglect, or do,
Save what he should; If there be neither ought
Done or omitted, more than yet, is brought
Unto my ears; and his professions are
Sufficient to abate the Peoples fear;
Yet, with that modesty consist, whose want
Made others, lately so exorbitant,
That, many did suspect their gaudy signe
VVas hung forth but to vent unwholsome wine.
