| - | |
| I did but prompt the age to quit their cloggs | B |
| By the known rules of antient libertie | C |
| When strait a barbarous noise environs me | D |
| Of Owles and Cuckoes Asses Apes and Doggs | B |
| As when those Hinds that were transform'd to Froggs | B |
| Raild at Latona's twin born progenie | E |
| Which after held the Sun and Moon in fee | D |
| But this is got by casting Pearl to Hoggs | B |

| For who loves that must first be wise and good | C |
| But from that mark how far they roave we see | D |
| For all this wast of wealth and loss of blood | C |
