Poems on Affairs of State | ||
The RABBLE.
1680.
The Rabble hates, the Gentry fear,
And Wise men want support:
A rising Country threatens, There,
And Here, a starving Court.
And Wise men want support:
A rising Country threatens, There,
And Here, a starving Court.
Not for the Nation, but the Fair,
Our Treasury provides:
Bu---ly's Go---'s only care,
As M---ton is H---de's.
Our Treasury provides:
250
As M---ton is H---de's.
R---ly too late will understand,
What now he shuns to find;
That nothing's quiet in the Land,
Except his careless Mind.
What now he shuns to find;
That nothing's quiet in the Land,
Except his careless Mind.
England is now 'twixt Thee and Y---k,
The Fable of the Frog:
He is the fierce devouring Stork,
And Thou the lumpish Log.
The Fable of the Frog:
He is the fierce devouring Stork,
And Thou the lumpish Log.
