Of very parsimonious as indecided as his name
& tho the Colonel is your foe
Renownd for advertising military fame.

Who love to batten on coercion
Renounce their friends in hopes to keep
Their precious Gaol birds from desertion.

& when they feel your brisk encounter

He cant take great matters in hand
Nor can ever be lively & witty,
As long as the Folks understand
That he's only returnd for a City.

if by grace & particular bounty
he can stand up & lay down the Law
as the very grand Knight of a County.

he's discoverd by bribes & by Labors
A Popish Plot deeper than Hell.
