INDIGNIS.

Hence profane Hands, Factors for Hearts profane:
Hence hissing Atheists, Helfish Mitle-Creants:
Hence Buzzard Kites, dazled with Beautie's glance:
Hence itching Eares, with Toyes and Tales vp-tane:
Hence Green-sick Wits, that relish nought but bane:
Hence dead-lyve Idiots, drown'd in Ignorance:
Hence wanton Michols, that deride my Dance:
Hence Mimike Apes, vaine Follies Counter-pane:
Hence prying Critikes, carping past your Skill:
Hence dull Conceipts, that have no true Discerning:
Hence envious Momes, converting Good to Ill:
Hence all at-once, that lack (or love not) Learning:
Hence All vn-holy, from the Worlds Birth Feast:
Vlania's Grace brooks no vn-worthy Guest.
