Were I to play my callow author's game,

The King's House would instruct me by the name.[372]

There's loyalty to one; I wish no more:

A commonwealth sounds like a common whore.

Let husband or gallant be what they will,

One part of woman is true Tory still.

If any factious spirit should rebel,

Our sex, with ease, can every rising quell.

Then, as you hope we should your failings hide,

An honest jury for our play provide.
