And fee the ancient Gtiis of the fkies /; ~.

And fee how consequences there Sby;

And know not only rOb0t be does, but SOby.
This ihould be firff of all that I'd enquire,
And this the utmof bounds Of my deiire,

Why he gives power to princes to dcifroy,
And waite the pleafAnt world they fhould en-
joy:
Why fame bellows her M-ds(rV'd 0fpLagk,
Where violence triumphs on natures laws !:
Where jaftice feels tn opprefIive load of might,
And ufurpasion fets her foot on right;
And he that's mightieit grown in huff and
blood,
Scorns human praife, and claims to rule from
God.
Why heaven PROVOKED with infults, and with
Pride,
Let's naughty vice the fpoils of heaven divide ;
And the rewards of virtues are poilefs'd,
BY him that iinks the man to raife the beait.
Why private miracles concern'd for blood,
AHd~iecret murders are by heaven purfu'd:
Ndtsvs's at lOarJ, and all the brutes combine,
To mix their vengeance with the wrath
divine
The fecret horror of the bloody fact,
AfhRs the malefaetor to detect
The guilty trembling hand, the falt'ring
tongue,
Hurries the vengeance Of his crimes along;
The wand'ring ffeps the wiih'd-for fight
refuie,
And make the guilty wretch hmfelf accufe /;
Confidence the hated iecTet will betray,
And make himfelf the debt to jufice pay
HaRen the punilhment the laws defer,
And make himfelf the execu,ioner
Why ihou'd juh heaven purdue the junior
crime,
But leave exalted criminals to time :
For princes guided by the CUFF of power,
In their ambitious heat the world devour.
They that have nations in their huff deiiroy'd,
And ffrove to make the whole creation void
That facri6ce whole kingdoms to their pride,
Revel in blood, and natures fpols divide:
Thefe with impunity in peace remain,
And heay'n feems 70 far to command in
vain.
In conquea uncontropd they tyrannize,
And feas of blood can fcarce their Thrift fuf-
fee,
Virtue and innocence refift in vain,
Whole nations groan, and injur'd lands com
plain;
The dying breath of millions vengeance calls
And cries of orphans fcale the heavenly walls,
Yet deaf and unconcern'd he neutral Aauds,
Deaf to th'expeefing eyes, upiifted hands,
AS if he'd bid them not look up to him,
Referr'd the vengeance back again to them.

GETTY Of tffs6tuaI meafuTes to prevent any

The council, in very obliging addres or

branches Of the Legislature, to convince the
intruders that they ale under intake ifthey
expect to acquire Ute by force of their poi
