Had some quaint bawdry larded ev'ry scene,

10Some fawning sycophant, or courted quean;

Had there appear'd some sharp cross-garter'd man

Whom their loud laugh might nickname Puritan,

Cas'd up in factious breeches and small ruff,

That hates the surplice, and defies the cuff:

Then sure they would have given applause to crown

That which their ignorance did now cry down.

Let me advise, when next you do bestow

Your pains on men that do but little know,
