 While Boyle and Bly blended, well Accord; And Row and Settle grace one common Board.

The Chanter Now with formidable Noise, Exalts his shrill Ecclesiastic Voice: Urging his forward wayWhen Oh Dire Chance! The Prelate and his Myrmidons advance. Each rugged Hero, with encountring Eyes, His Rival's louring Front alternately Surveys: Sullen and Dumb Disdainfully they Stop, An Equal Madness Choaks and Swells 'em up. So two fierce Bulls, who Rival-Passions share For some lov'd Heifer, Meditate a War. With jealous Rage fir'd at each others Sight, They quit the Pasture and prepare for Fight; Bowing their Necks, Each his curl'd Forehead shakes, While from their Blood-shot Eyes their inward Fury breaks.
