No Leper shall approach her Sacred Quire,
None touch her Altars cannot touch the Lyre.
Old Laws shall be Reviv'd, and New ones made,
Wise Men arise, and Fools run Retrograde.
Empires and Monarchies confirm'd, Erected,
Churches Repair'd, and Holy Ground Protected.
Tranquillity succeeds our Brutish Wars,
Balsoms our Wounds, pours Oyl upon our Scars,
Commerce and Traffique then receives Increase,
Merchants adventure all things, but their Peace.
Fanatick Spirits in short time forget
What Principles they own'd in their Mad Fit.
Repining Tradesmen, and Poor Handicrafts,
Turn Morning-Lectures into Morning-Draughts:
And wonder by what Wild-fires they were Led
To feed on Thistles 'stead of wholsome Bread.
So Plain, so Ugly now the Cheat appears,
'Tis lay'd aside for half three hundred Years.
