No (thievish tumbler) leave thy cheating tricks And swear allegiance to some puny Lord, Make those believe that lack intelligence, For I am lashed with true experience: Though on thy bosom thou wouldst therefore crawl, And, like a Serpent, live upon the dust: Though by continual creeping thou didst wear Thy breast and belly, (so become submiss In a most new degree) didst lick paths clean Where I should walk, and scrape away the filth: Employ each servile sinew to my ends, Yet you and I must never more be friends. Fill flat upon thy face (thou parricide) Fall down as ready (captive) to abide Our indignation, which in childbirth lies, Big with a thousand swelling lunacies: Expecting all to be delivered out, And by vexation of thy falling strength, To be an orb in breadth, an age in length: Fall (thou condemned schismatic) and charm The killing rage of my advanced arm; For I shall prove so desperately mad And full of rigor, in my sharp revenge; As to revolve the terror of my doom Fancy doth tremble, but my rage makes room: (Falie wretch) I must forget humanity, And fall acquainted with some forest Wolf; He, and such bloody Tutors shall instruct The shameless Art of savage cruelty, To kill thee, and become exorbitant; I will anatomize thy limbs alive; Will mince small gobbets of thy quaking flesh And feed my Hawks, while life continues fresh Within the bloody morsel; make the sluice To quaver when they swallow down the juice: The Turk shall teach me to extend some plague Of most unsuffering nature: till the day, And thy blaspheming breath do both decay. But ô (quick sorrow seize me) what avails This villains torture to my living woe? For I (except I quickly be transformed Into a Rat, a Hedgehog, Louse, or Toad, Some base and obscure animal) must feel Torments more tedious than tongues may express, A Equal to which is doubtful heaviness: Nay. our attempts and high abuses done Be of such horrid shape, such ample strain; As to absolve them would require a Saint With special pardon from almighty Ioue: Yes, though I should obtain that idle wish Of transmigration; yet the shameful troop Of sins which we are my scarlet livery Would follow fast, and (as Actions dogs) Tear me to pieces, not remembering, once, That I was master of the family: If, to become a new conformitant, implied a venial act; each virtuous thought Should be my fellow: 'tis the fault of all, we do despair to stand, because we fall. One maxim I retain by privilege; Such secrets, they do seldom thrive, nor can, Where we depend upon the breath of man: O had my drudge, my Vassal been but true, And faithful to the forecast of my hopes, I had been brave confederate of Kings, Nay, might have called some Kings my feodars. (O devil) hadst thou been to my desires A sudden knave and dutiful enough: But for a time hadst thou continued so Until some limitation did expire
