EPIGRAM
ON A
CLUB of SOTS.
The jolly Members of a toping Club,
Like Pipestaves, are but hoop'd into a Tub;
And in a close Confederacy link,
For nothing else, but only to hold Drink.

DESCRIPTION OF HOLLAND.
A country that draws fifty Foot of Water,
In which Men live, as in the Hold of Nature;
And when the Sea does in upon them break,
And drown a Province, does but spring a Lake,
That always ply the Pump, and never think
They can be safe, but at the Rate they stink;
