O let not such lewd sacrilege begin, Tempted by Henry's rich, successful sin ! THE PURITAN AND THE PAPIST. 213 Henry ! the monster-king of all that age ; Wild in his lust, but wilder in his rage. Expect not you his fate, though Hotham thrives In imitating Henry's tricks for wives ; Nor fewer churches hopes, than wives, to see Buried, and then their lands his own to be. Ye boundless tyrants ! how do you outvie The' Athenians' Thirty, Rome's Decemviry ! In rage, injustice, cruelty, as far Above t...hose men, as you in number are. What mysteries of iniquity do we see ! New prisons made to defend liberty ! Our goods forced from us for property's sake; And all the real nonsense which ye make ! Ship-money was unjustly ta'en, ye say; Unjustlier far, you take the ships away. The High Commission you call'd tyranny : Ye did ! good God ! what is the High Committee ? Ye said that gifts and bribes preferments bought: By money and blood too they now are sought. To the king's will, the laws men strove to draw : The subjects' will is now become the law.
