Rh Heroick actions early bred in, Ne'er to be match'd in modern reading, But by his namesake Charles of Sweden.

HE queen has lately lost a part Of her heart, For want of which, by way of botch, She piec'd it up again with , Blest revolution! which creates Divided hearts, united states! See how the double nation lies, Like a rich coat, with skirts of frize: As if a man, in making posies, Should bundle thistles up with roses. Who ever yet a union saw Of kingdoms without faith or law? Henceforward let no statesman dare A kingdom to a ship compare; Lest he should call our commonweal, A vessel with a double keel: Which, just like ours, new rigg'd and mann'd, And got about a league from land, By change of wind to leeward side, The pilot knew not how to guide. So tossing faction will o'erwhelm Our crazy double-bottom'd realm. Rh
