The second Bulwarke was the Hearing sence,
2 Gainst which the second troupe +dessignment+ makes;
Deformed creatures, in straunge difference,
4 Some hauing heads like Harts, some like to Snakes,
Some like wild Bores late rouzd out of the brakes;
6 Slaunderous reproches, and fowle infamies,
Leasings, backbytings, and vaine-glorious crakes,
8 Bad counsels, prayses, and false flatteries.
All those against that fort did bend their batteries.
