The Contents.
A Question presuppos'd, the MuseReplieth, and her freedome shewes:
Tels with what heart, with what intent,
This Warre her POET under-went.
Averres that Reason and the Lawes
Will justifie him in his Cause:
The publike woe, she doth expresse;
Lamenteth, and implores redresse:
Fights Combats with Delusive-Reason,
Her Partie to acquit from Treason,
Their hearts incourageth to doe
What GOD, and Nature calls them to.
And many matters here and there
Inserteth, not related here.
Then, mentioneth a Voice of PEACE
That she hath heard; and there doth cease;
Intending, ere She will proceed,
To make some proofe, how this may speed.
