Next him, from its belov'd recess is Torn
An English Chevreau, dead as soon as born.
The Rights^{[errata 1]} o'th' Church alone Unshaken stood,
And grinning smil'd at sight of Priestly Blood.
A Keeble's Statutes, with Unfriendly Weight
Of crabbed Law, bruis'd Girot's empty Pate.
When rough Alcippus felt a sudden Shock;
Th' Arabian Tales his wounded Shoulder struck.
Indolent Sheets! till now unus'd to bear$\scriptstyle {\left.{\begin{matrix}\ \\\\\ \ \end{matrix}}\right\}\,}$
The rough Fatigues and barbarous Rage of War,
Supinely in soft Dreams You lull'd the Fair.
Some luckless Hand afresh Eliza throws
At Clotho's Head, and Smote him 'twixt the Brows;
When, Strange effect! the brawny Priest began
To Yawn and stretch; Lethargic Stiffness Ran
Thro' All the Magazines of Vital Heat;
The Veins no more Life's quickning task repeat;
