Page:Faction display'd. A poem. Answer'd paragraph by paragraph.pdf/25

Just is the Model of our English Frame,
That might forever Flourish still the same,
But for this envious Fiend, who thus prepares
To Sow the Seeds of long intestine Wars.
Here is maintain'd a mixt Monarchic sway,
Which Freeborn Nations willingly obey.
For in the due Proportion of the State
The Subject's happy as the Monarch Great.
In equal Distance from Extremes we move,
Nor Tyranny, nor Commonwealth approve.
Nor Tyranny, that Savage Brutal Pow'r,
Which not protects Mankind, but does devour.
Nor Commonwealth, a Monster, Hydra-State,$\scriptstyle {\left.{\begin{matrix}\ \\\\\ \ \end{matrix}}\right\}\,}$
Whose many Heads attempt each others Fate,
And load their Body with unweildy Weight.
