Your fangs you fastened on the mitred crown, }

And freed from God and monarchy your town. }

What though your native kennel still be small,

Bounded betwixt a puddle and a wall;

Yet your victorious colonies are sent

Where the north ocean girds the continent.

Quickened with fire below, your monsters breed

In fenny Holland, and in fruitful Tweed;

And like the first the last affects to be,

Drawn to the dregs of a democracy.
