For depth in politics, and statesman's brain,

Draw Hushai[313] next, attended by a train

Of peevish votaries, heart-sick with pride,

Too numerous for an apostate guide;

The odious name of patriot he does own,

And prophecies the downfall of a throne:

Forms in his aged fancy, robbed of health,

The strange ideas of a Commonwealth,

Then gains the proselyte dissenting Jews,

And arguments from liberty does use:
