 A foe to tyranny, upholsterer To Cromwell, leather-maker to our saints, He feeds, as at two cribs, at those two shrines. Murder and feast, both doth he furnish forth. His voice proscribes the head of Cromwell crowned, And he supplies the decorations of The crowning. Worthy man, his efforts all Devoting to this twofold end to-day, He works, while praising God, for Satan's pomp. A zealous tradesman and fanatic saint, The bigot sells to Noll, to whom he lends His credit, the same throne that he doth curse, At the best price he can. Willis. Was not his brother The Speaker of the Commons House? Davenant. He was, In the late Parliament, whereof this man Himself was one. Willis [to .] The others—who are they? Ormond.Regicide Harrison, and Overton And Garland regicides. Clifford. Can some one say Which of the three is Satan? Ormond. Peace, my lord! 'Tis Joyce, kidnapper of the King, who speaks. Rosebery.Detested breed! Rochester. What pleasure it would be To pick a quarrel with yon Roundhead curs Who outrage God! How gladly I would make Their heads more round, by cutting off their ears! And what a pleasant pastime to attack The precious rascals—were they not our friends!
