Upon the Anonymous Author of Legion's humble Address to the Lords.

Thou Tool of Faction, mercenary Scribe,
Who preachest Treason to the Calves-head Tribe,
Whose fruitful Head, in Garret mounted high,
Sees Legions and strange Monsters in the Sky;
Who wou'dst with War and Blood thy Country fill
Were but thy Power as rampant as thy Will;
Well may'st thou boast thyself a Million strong,
But 'tis in Vermin that about thee throng.
