CLASSICAL ENIGMAS, _&c._

[Aries]

Name the _Queen_ of Old England, whose bigotted zeal,

Made her subjects the terrors of Popery feel,

Then that glorious example of goodness and grace,

The last _Sovereign_, who reign'd, of the true Stuart race.

The _King_, who unjustly the sceptre to gain,

Had his friends, and his kindred most cruelly slain.

Next _him_, whom the puritan party dethron'd,

And whose faults, by the loss of his head was atton'd.

Now name that bold _King_, who threw off the yoke

Treating the Pope, and his Bulls as a joke:

Who not from religion, but whimsey of passion,

Declar'd, that the Bible should come into fashion.

Place these Monarchs together, the first letters take,

When a Month in the year, they'll certainly make.
