<L>HERE in this Mirrour, <HI>Reader,</HI> view the Fate</L>
<L>Of Folly, Unconvinc'd, and Ob&s;tinate.</L>
<L>Such as no Rea&s;on cou'd In&s;truct; but &s;till</L>
<L>Again&s;t <HI>Experience</HI> wou'd oppo&s;e its <HI>Will.</HI></L>
<L>That giddy Guide, which &s;uffers no Di&s;pute,</L>
<L>But violently Transforms the <HI>Man</HI> to <HI>Brute.</HI></L>
</LG>
<LG>
<L>A Human Shape the&s;e Mon&s;ters did Adorn;</L>
<L>Now they're become the People's Sport, and Scorn:</L>
<L>Attempting to be &s;omething <HI>More</HI> than Men,</L>
<L><HI>Lords, Earls, Dukes, Generals,</HI> but the Lord knows when.</L>
<L>Chang'd by their Pride, to <HI>A&s;&s;es</HI> they decline,</L>
<L>As <HI>Circe</HI>'s Druggs Transform'd the <HI>Men</HI> to <HI>Swine:</HI></L>
<L>So <HI>Their</HI> Fanta&s;tic Notions, have run thro'</L>
<L>More <HI>Mon&s;trous Forms,</HI> than <HI>Ovid</HI> ever knew;</L>
<L>For, Read o'er all the the Wonders he did Write,</L>
<L>Among&s;t them all there's not one <HI>JACOBITE.</HI></L>
</LG>
<LG>
<L>But tho' they've Labour'd, like the <HI>A&s;s,</HI> in vain,</L>
<L>We'll try to make them <HI>Gentlemen</HI> again:</L>
<L>Di&s;&s;olve the Spell, and Blazon out a <HI>Coat</HI></L>
<L>Of <HI>Arms,</HI> &s;hall &s;et them right without di&s;pute;</L>
<L>And clear their Title to Eternal Fame,</L>
<L>By rai&s;ing La&s;ting Monuments of <HI>Shame:</HI></L>
<L>'Tis This: (Such they de&s;erve whom <HI>Folly</HI> rules)</L>
<L>An <HI>ASS</HI> Supported by a brace of <HI>FOOLS:</HI></L>
<L>The <HI>Emblem's</HI> proper: Here they plainly &s;ee</L>
<L>Th' effects of <HI>Error</HI> and <HI>Stupidity.</HI></L>
<L>The &s;hining <HI>Field,</HI> with <HI>Caps</HI> of Folly &s;pread,</L>
<L>Shews what be&s;t &s;uits a Dull Unthinking Head:</L>
<L>puts them in mind (if Rea&s;on yet has place)</L>
<L>What Garb becomes their <HI>Metamorpos'd</HI> ca&s;e:</L>
<L>Will make them try, if true Repentance can,</L>
<L>Reduce them to their former Shape of <HI>Man.</HI></L>
