* St. Peter with the Maid-servant, Door∣keeper; by Louis Caratts. EPIG. LXVIII.

THOU who wert once a mighty Prop and Stay O'th' Church, dost thou now sink and fall away?

Page 52

What dismal Chance doth make thy Members quake, And all thy wonted Courage from thee take? No warlike Engin doth against thee roar, A Maid's soft Voice doth wound and gall thee sore. St. Peter falls; Caratts by this doth rise, And mounted on Applauses reach the Skies.
