On Tyrannical Government,
Princes of the earth, ye mighty few.
Who, worlds fubduing,can’t yourselves fubdt’e,
Who, goodness fcorh’d, wlfh only to be great,
Whose breath is blaftmg, and v/hofe voice is fate.
Who own no laiv, no reason but your will,
And fcom restraint, tho ’tis from doing ill,
Who, of all passions groan beneath the word,
Then only blefs’d, when making ochers curft j
Think not for wrongs like thefe,unfccurg’d to live ;
Long may ye fin, and.long may Heav’n ioigive ;
But, when ye least exped, in ibrrow’s day, '
Vengeance shall fill-more heavy, for delay ;
Nor think, that vengeance heap’d on you alone
Shall (pooramends) for injur’d worlds atone;
No, like some base diflember, which remains,
Transmitted from the tainted father’s veins,
In the ion’s bloody such broad and general crimes
Shall call down vengeance ev'n to latest times.
Call vengeance down on all who bear your name,
And make their por im bitterneis and shame. •
