Who forced the opposing monster to retreat.
“’Tis force must pull the lawless tyrant down;
But give men knowledge, and the priest’s undone;
In vain he whines, in vain he cants and prays,
There’s not a man believes one word he says.”
The following infamous lines are taken from the anthem for 1694. After describing the “fall of the tyrant,” and the satisfaction of the nation, and their own celebration of the event, those bacchanalian revellers are made to sing:—
“Then fill the calf’s cranium to a health so divine,
The cause, the old cause, shall ennoble our wine;
Charge briskly around, fill it up, fill it full,
’Tis the last and best service of a tyrannical skull.
