The first fat buck of all the season's sent,

And keeper takes no fee in compliment;

The dotage of some Englishmen is such,

To fawn on those who ruin them,—the Dutch.

They shall have all, rather than make a war

With those who of the same religion are.

The Straits, the Guinea-trade, the herrings too;

Nay, to keep friendship, they shall pickle you.

Some are resolved not to find out the cheat,

But, cuckold-like, love them that do the feat.
