Sampson's Foxes.
Sampson did tail by tail Wild Foxes bind,And fastned Fire-brands to them all behind:
Thus ers Hetick are joyn'd, and go astray
Linkt in some antick, or preposterous way;
They carry fire-brands too, to set on fire
The peaceful Kingdom: Let us all desire
To quench this fire, and these wild beasts to tame,
Else they will prove our ruine, and our shame.
