DRAWN FROM THE ABOVE EPIGRAMS, AND SENT TO THE DRAPIER

Since Anna, whose bounty thy merits had fed,

Ere her own was laid low, had exalted thy head:

And since our good queen to the wise is so just,

To raise heads for such as are humbled in dust,

I wonder, good man, that you are not envaulted;

Prithee go, and be dead, and be doubly exalted.
