Victorious Pottage stop'd his eager Haste,
Soften'd his Rage, and broke his three Hours Fast.
Yet the black Choler strugling with his Meat,
Oppos'd the Passage of each luscious Bit.
Good Gilotin express'd in Groans his Care,
And politickly spreads the growing Fear.
His Partizans the dreadful News receive,
And feeling own a sympathetic Grief:
In numerous Troops to their lov'd Patron flie,
And bravely swear to Conquer or to Die.

Thus when the fierce Pigmean Army crouds,
The Banks of Heber, or Strimonian Floods;
The haughty Cranes round their known Leader swarm,
And their invincible Battallions form.

Pleas'd
