And of the powder-plot, they will talk yet.

At naming the French king, their heads they shake,

And at the Pope, and Spain, slight faces make.

Or 'gainst the bishops, for the brethren rail

Much like those brethren; thinking to prevail

With ignorance on us, as they have done

On them: and therefore do not only shun

Others more modest, but contemn us too,

That know not so much state, wrong, as they do.

[XIII.] ON DON SURLY.
