Oxford.
_"Wise men labour," &c._ (Vol. ix., p. 468.).--The following version of
these lines is printed in the _Collection of Loyal Songs, written against
the Rump Parliament between the Years 1639-1661_:
"_Complaint._
"Wise men suffer, good men grieve,
Knaves devise and fools believe;
Help, O Lord! send aid unto us,
Else knaves and fools will quite undo us."
These four lines constitute the whole of the piece, which is anonymous:
vol. i. p. 27., and also on the title-page.
