" Thy mighty ruin to elect.
What plots have been devised,
What arts and perjuries been raised,
What laws and rights despised?

Veiled with a new disguise,
And from a specious chew of right,
From treaehery and lies ;
With a►bitrary power the people awe.
And cola unjust oppressive into law."—{(:baste.)
