Too good to treat ye as ye merit,

Stern boisterous Cromwell from the dead,

Or bluff old Hal would lift his head,

That I might see you bound and skip

Beneath their disciplining whip;

That I might see your pamper’d hides

Flogg’d, ’till from out your furrow’d sides

Spun, in each part, the sizy blood,

Too rich from sloth and copious food;

That thus let out at all these sluices,
