Let Frarieg be revenged on them all;

O'er the tyrants' heads be bnrft, .
And lay them level with the dust!
May monarchs in oblivion lie;
'And Freedom dwell below the Iky ;
Till heaven and earth fail pass away,
At the last great, tremendous day!
May two-edg'd spears be pierced through
Old Bull, and all his daemon crew ;
And in Tartaria may they stand.
Till they are friends to Freedom's l^nd.
May Europe, Afu, and Africa,
Enjoy the blessings with America ;
No more be rul'd by iron rad:
Oj grant this pray'r. Almighty God!

honours, riches, favours, only to take
them away again ; either by violence
or treachery: so that the, frequently
turnto the damage of thl receiver.
She throws out baits for ft and sets
traps, as we do for birch and beasts ;
her bounties are (oarer, and lime
twigs to us ; we think that we take,

thing in them that were substantial,
they would some time or other fill,
and quiet us, but they serve only to
provoke our appetite, without any'
thing? more than pomp, and ihow, to,
allay it. But & best of it is, if a
man cannot mend his fortune, he may
yet mend his manners, and put him
feif so far out of her reach, that wheth
er file gives or takes, it ffiall be all
one to ,&% for we are neither the
greater far the one, nor the less for
the other. We call this adark room,
or that a, ight one ; when it is in it
fttfneither the one; Bor the other,
but ohly as the day and the night rear
ders it. Andfoitis in riches, ft rength
of body; beauty; honour, command :
and tikewife in pain, sickness, banifh
mens, death ; which are in themselves
middle and indifferent things, and on
ly good, or bad, as they are influenced'
by virtue. ^ To weep, lament; and
groan, is to renounce our duty ; and
it is the fame weaknefoon the other

we ^: daily 'fee funerals wiihout
trouble, princes deposed, countries de
populated, towns lacked without fa
much at thinking how soon it may
be out own case 1^ Whereat, if we
would but prepare, and arm outlives
against the iniquities of fortune, we
^mould never be furgrized. When
we fee any man banned; beggar'd,
tortured, we are to account, that the'
the mifehieb fell upon another; it was
Levelled atufr What wonder isir, if
of 16 many thousands of dangers that
(are conftaritly hovering about us, one
comes to hit usaoafl ? That which
befahany man may belal every man,
and then it breaks the force of a pres
ent calamity, to provide against the
future. Whatfottr our lot is, we
must bear it; as fuppbfe it be con
tumely, cruelty, fireflword, pains,
diseases, or a prey to wild beasts ;
therein no (hogging, nor any reme
dy but moderation. It is to no pur
pose to bewail any part of our life,
when life itfelf is miserable through
out ; and the whole flux of it only a
course of transition from one misfor
tune to another. A man may as well
wonder, that he should be cold in
winter, sick at fee, or have his bones
clattered together in w waggon § as at
the encounter of ill accidents, and
crosses in the pa(Tage of human life;
and it is in vain to run away from
fortune, as if there were any hiding
place wherein (he could not find us;
or te expeft any quiet from her, for
(he makes life a perpetual fate r of
war; without so much as any respite
or truce. This we may conclude up
on, that her empire is but imaginary,
and that whosoever feryes her, makes
himfelf a voluntary slave ; for the
things that are often contemned by
the inconside rate; and always by the
wife, are in themfelvet neither good^
nor evil ; as pleasure and pain ; pros
perity and adversity ; which can only,
operate upon our outward condition,
without any proper and necessary ef
fed upon the mind.
