Who own’d no prince and who obey no law;

There were reformers of each different sort,

Foes to the laws, the priesthood, and the court;

Some on their favourite plans alone intent,

Some purely angry and malevolent:

The rash were proud to blame their country’s laws;

The vain, to seem supporters of a cause;

One call’d for change, that he would dread to see;

Another sigh’d for Gallic liberty!

And numbers joining with the forward crew,
