A Reply to a Pasquil:

OR A sound Advice to the Unknown Author of the Ironical Rhyme, or Satyr written on his Grace, the D. of M Entituled Jemmy Returned.

Peace Poetaster, parasite of time;
Thou flattering Sycophant, disgrace of ryme:
Who with Ironic jeers, dost strive to sport,
And fawn thy self, in favour with the Court.
Think'st thou His Royal Highness, or the KING,
Desires 'timist protæus, to bring
A Coward's quill, that's diped in disgrace:
T' offront his Son, and stain the Royal Race.
The great Apostate Julian, taught thee this,
To Murther Monmouth, with a Judas-Kiss.
Pedantick Rymer, thy Muse is a Mine:
Thy quil's the Arrow of a Porcupine.
Which will at last turn Immanent, and dart
The sqint-ey'd Archer, deeply to the Heart.

68

Turn ore the leaf, but of this present age,
Bring Bo-peep's Pasquils back upon the stage.
Thoul't find such Lybels (more than any thing)
Bred Civil War; which murthered our King.
Mind him who said: Insipid Wretch of Nature,
I love the Treason, but I hate the Traytour.
