Here Time trips up the heels
of thy bright story,
Renowned Don, vext at thy
Valours glory;
Dragons may now
securely sleep, and ugly
Deformed Orks seem to look
smooth and smugly;
Gyants may wield their Maces
and their Oakes,
And knock down Knighthood
with their strenuous stroaks:
Who now shall cure those Castles
that are haunted?
Affording ayde to men
and Beasts Inchanted?
None, none, for Zara sleeps
(to gain new vigour)
And who shall dare to rowze
a snoring Tyger:
Let him that sings his Second Part
drink smartly,
Of Sack and Sulphure,
and then write most tartly.
FINIS.
