To entreat heaven’s curses on noble Pizarro.
Rolla made a fine speech with such logic and grammar,
As must sure raise the envy of Counsellor Garrow;
It would sell for five pounds were it brought to the hammer,
For it raised all Peru against valiant Pizarro.
Four acts are tol lol, but the fifth’s my delight,
Where history’s traced with the pen of a Varro,
And Elvira in black, and Alonzo in white,
Put an end to the piece by killing Pizarro.
I have finished my song if it had but a tune,
