When all her furry sons in frequent Senate met.
Mean while the quench'd her fury at the floud,
And with a Lenten sallad cool'd her bloud.
Their commons, though but course, were nothing scant,
Nor did their minds an equal banquet want.

Their commons, though but course, were nothing scant,
Nor did their minds an equal banquet want.

T'express her plain simplicity of love,
Did all the honours of her house so well,
No sharp debates disturb'd the friendly meal.

To common dangers past, a sadly pleasing theam;
Remembring ev'ry storm which toss'd the state,
When both were objects of the publick hate,
And drop'd a rear betwixt for her own childrens fate.

Nor fail'd she then a full review to make
Of what the Panther suffer'd for her sake.
