<HEAD>A DIALOGUE BETWEEN ANTHONY Earl of Shaftsbury, AND Captain THOMAS WALCOTT, Upon their Meeting in PLUTO's Kingdome.</HEAD>
<SP>
<SPEAKER>Walcott.</SPEAKER>
<L>_CUrs'd be tho&s;e Eyes that &s;ees him where he &s;tands,</L>
<L>That has Di&s;turb'd the be&s;t of Kings, of People, and of Lands.</L>
<L>Had Nature gave him but his Sons proportion</L>
<L>Of Wit, and Mind, as little as his Station,</L>
<L>I had been Happy, and ne're doom'd to &s;ee</L>
<L>The dole&s;ome Shades of Nights Eternity,</L>
<L>But freed from Plots and Trea&s;ons, liv'd to &s;ee</L>
<L>Dame Nature my Impri&s;on'd Soul to Free.</L>
</SP>
<SP>
<SPEAKER>Shaftsbury.</SPEAKER>
<L>What's <HI>Walcott</HI> come, why then I plainly &s;ee,</L>
<L>Nor <HI>Hell,</HI> nor <HI>Holland,</HI> ever can be free</L>
<L>From my accur&s;ed Crew: Fools, did you think</L>
<L>Rebellion kept too long, would never Stink?</L>
<L>Believe't tis true, when Trea&s;ons in the thought,</L>
<L>It mu&s;t to Action pre&s;ently be brought;</L>
<L>'Tis dangerous, when the ca&s;e on Tip-Toe &s;tands,</L>
<L>To make delay, Trea&s;on's not &s;afe in many hands.</L>
</SP>
<SP>
<SPEAKER>Walcott.</SPEAKER>
<L>Ah! Sir, but think o'th' groans of Orphans, and the Tears</L>
<L>Of Widdows, and how this to Heaven appears.</L>
<L>Think what &s;ad Doom it brought on me &amp; others</L>
<L>And in what Infamy our Race it Smothers.</L>
<L>No Age can Parrallel a Crime &s;o foul,</L>
<L>Unle&s;s the Antecedent, wherein your Soul</L>
<L>Was no &s;mall Agent, for no Plot could be</L>
<L>Again&s;t the King, or Kingdom, <HI>Tony</HI> Free:</L>
<L>As if Dame Nature you for naught de&s;ign'd</L>
<L>But mi&s;chief, and our Fir&s;t Parents Mind</L>
<L>To you She gave, who &s;carce a day could Live,</L>
<L>But mu&s;t Rebell 'gain&s;t Heavens Prerogative.</L>
</SP>
<SP>
<SPEAKER>Shaftsbury.</SPEAKER>
<L><HI>Relenting Fool!</HI> does pitty moove Thee here,</L>
<L>Where pitty can't be had, &s;hake off thy Fear,</L>
<L>And take a Mind worthy thy Name agen,</L>
<L>Swear that, nor Gods, nor Kings, nor Men,</L>
<L>Should &s;cape thy Fury, if thou could'&s;t but be</L>
<L>In <HI>Holland</HI> once again with <HI>Shaftsbury.</HI></L>
<L>Then thou &s;halt Merrit <HI>Pluto</HI>'s ju&s;t Reward,</L>
<L>The fir&s;t Commi&s;&s;ion'd Captain of his Guard.</L>
</SP>
<SP>
<SPEAKER>Walcott.</SPEAKER>
<L>Rewards with Souldiers &s;eldom fail tomoove,</L>
<L>But &s;uch Rewards, I cannot well approve.</L>
<L>And if a Captain mu&s;t, I'de rather Head</L>
<L>A Thou&s;and <HI>Red-Coats</HI> in <HI>Hide-Park,</HI> then Lead</L>
<L>Myriads of black Locu&s;ts in <HI>Ely&s;ium,</HI></L>
<L>Which from the Wilderne&s;s of Sins have come.</L>
<L>The&s;e need a <HI>Fergu&s;on</HI> which knows all Tongues,</L>
<L>All Sins &amp; Wickedne&s;&s;es, to guide your Throngs:</L>
<L>I to the&s;e but a petty Captain am,</L>
<L>And with me every Souldier cut the Sham:</L>
<L>Therefore on them let Honour be confer'd,</L>
<L>That from your Lord&s;hip it have be&s;t de&s;erv'd.</L>
</SP>
<SP>
<SPEAKER>Shaftsbury.</SPEAKER>
<L>If I again from <HI>Pluto</HI>'s Kingdom come,</L>
<L>I'le turn the Scales, I'le make <HI>Geneva, Rome,</HI></L>
<L>I'le Cant no more, but <HI>Hallalujahs</HI> Sing,</L>
<L>And to my Con&s;ult, all the Je&s;uits bring:</L>
<L>I'le Conver&s;e Men, who dare like <HI>Ru&s;&s;el</HI> Dye,</L>
<L>Fir&s;t to Contrive, and then maintain a Lye</L>
<L>With their la&s;t Breath: The&s;e are the Men,</L>
<L>That dare be Wicked, and defend their Sin.</L>
