Faction

A bully L——, whose wild mad Looks proclaim
His Bosom warm'd with more than Heroe's Flame.
Fighting and Railing are his Chief Delight,
Promiscuously opposing Wrong and Right.
Whate'er he does is always in Extreams,
Sometimes the Whig, sometimes the Tory dames
His various Temper and impetuous Mind,
To every Party is by Starts inclin'd.
He never was, nor e'er will be content
With any Prince, with any Government
Penurio lov'd the Cause, but silent sat,
Nor listen'd to their close intense Debate.
For on his Wealth ran all his Thoughts and Care,
Unblest with thirty thousand Pound a Year,

Scriv'ners,
