He raises next his Soaring Flights
Against the dang'rous JACOBITES;
For 'tis High-Treason, of his making,
To say NON-JURORS are for taking
The Oaths, or that they love QUEEN ANN,
Shew what Respect so e'er they can:
So he deters Them from Complying
By his Notorious way of Lying;
For if t'affirm They love-Her, be
A Capital gross Injury,
Then, in the Name of Newgate, why
Less Sin t'assert They will comply?
For fear, according to his Reason,
Of being Guilty of High Treason.
