An Epigram.

By the same Hand.
Justice by Whigs, by idle Spendthrifts Gold,
And mourning Love b'ing banish'd by the Old,
These exil'd Deities in Council meet,
That each on Earth may find a safe Retreat;
Justice in Ox---d's Heart secures her rest,
The wanton God resolves on O---nd's Breast,
And Gold, for safety, flies to M---'s Chest.
