Ev'rard, by Boirude elbow'd, found his Spleen
Began to Swell, and Stimulate within;
To Biblio's shop he bent his hasty Course,
A Cyrus seiz'd, and with gigantic Force
Th' unweildy Volume, at the Sexton threw;
He politickly Judg'd it, and withdrew:
But hissing as it went, It Sydrac struck
Full on the Chest; who Sunk beneath the Shock:
The Sire, by ^[1]Artamene forc'd to yield,
Fell Breathless, the first Victim of the Field:
His Friends with pain beheld his Overthrow,
And Sympathizing Felt Themselves the Blow.
Now against Everard twenty Champions dart,
And all resolve to batter down a Part:
The Canons their Assaulted Brother Spy,
And forward, to sustain the Onset, fly:
