The commonwealth, broke up, distracted go,

And, in wild haste, their loaded mates o'erthrow:

Even so our scattered guests confusedly meet,

With boiled, baked, roast, all justling in the street;

Dejecting all, and ruefully dismayed,

For shekel, without treat or treason paid.

Sedition's dark eclipse now fainter shows,

More bright each hour the royal planet grows,

Of force the clouds of envy to disperse,

In kind conjunction of assisting stars.
