Who all perform’d their parts so well,
Sir Edward Ratcliff[51] bore the bell,
Who was, by the kings own appointment,
To speak of spells, and magick oyntment.
The doctors of the civil law
Urg’d ne’re a reason worth a straw;
And though they went in silk and satten,
They Thomson-like[52] clip’d the kings Latine;
But yet his grace did pardon then
All treasons against Priscian.
