Besides there were the Spaniard, Dutch, and Dane;
In short, an universal shoal of shades

507

From Otaheite's isle to Salisbury Plain,
Of all climes and professions, years and trades,
Ready to swear against the good king's reign,
Bitter as clubs in cards are against spades:
All summoned by this grand “subpœna,” to
Try if kings mayn't be damned like me or you.
