I wish t' had been unspoke; for Truth gains Hate.
But by bad Men, I meant Illitterate,
And those who barbarously all Laws confound,
Religion, Justice; for within this Round
I see none but are good: believe all those
Whom I proclame for bad amongst your Foes:
Yet there is none so partially apply'd
To favour Vice but with the good will side:
VVhether he truly be such, or would fain
Of a good man the Reputation gain:
The hated name of an ill Man, there's none
But flies: if y'are all good, your praise: I'm gone.
Exit.
