And, when h' has chac'd his enemies, 315 Is there an officer of state, 325 We are your guardians, that increase, 'Tis we that can difpofe alone, Prevail, unless to make us worse; 335 Who still the harsher we are us’d, Are further off from b'ing reduc'd; And fcorn t' abate, for any ills, The leaft punctilios of our wills. Force does but whet our wits t' apply 340 Arts, born with us, for remedy; Which all your politics, as yet, Have ne'er been able to defeat: For when y' have try'd all forts of ways, What fools d' we make of you in plays? 345 While all the favours we afford, your heads Are but to girt you with the fword, Kill one auother, and cut throats, And have your brains beat out the fooner; Things that are never to be known: And run stark mad to shew your parts ; And turn them which way we fee cause; 395 Be our follicitors and agents, And stand for us in all engagements. To be out-hector'd and submit : 375 By your example, lose that right In treaties, which we gain'd in fight: ; And terrify'd into an awe, Let men ufurp th' unjust dominion, 378 Pafs on ourselves a Salique law.] The Salique law is a law in France, whereby it is enacted, that no female shall inherit that crown.
