A Loyal Exhortation. Written in the Year 1688.
Of Kings dethron'd, and Blood of Brethren spilt,
In vain, O Britain! you'd avert the Guilt;
If Crimes which your Fore-Fathers blush'd to own,
Repeated, call for heavier Vengeance down.

Tremble, ye People who your Kings distress,
Tremble, ye Kings, for People you oppress;
Th'Eternal sees, arm'd with his forky Rods,
The Rise and Fall of Empire's from the Gods.
