Is it for Bond, or Peter (paltry things),

To pay their debts, or keep their faith, like kings?

If Blount dispatched himself, he played the man,

And so mayest thou, illustrious Passeran!

But shall a printer, weary of his life,

Learn, from their books, to hang himself and wife?

This, this, my friend, I cannot, must not bear;

Vice thus abused, demands a nation's care;

This calls the Church to deprecate our sin,

And hurls the thunder of the laws on gin.
