Thy Muse, by Virgil’s Harpies taught to write,

Scatters her Ordure in her screaming Flight;

Sacred Religion and her Priests defames,

And against Monarchs saucily exclames.

[e] The Fathers, of our Church the surest Guides,

As a poor Pack of Punsters she derides.

But chief O Cam! and Isis! dread her Frown,

[f] Chain’d to the Footstool of the Goddess’ Throne.

No Order, no Degree escapes her Rage,

And dull, and dull, and dull swells ev’ry Page.
