And we despoil the unborn.”

The careful Devil is still at hand with means;
And providently Pimps for ill desires:
The Good Old Cause, reviv’d, a Plot requires,
Plots, true or false, are necessary things,
To raise up Common-wealths and ruine Kings.”

They carry nothing dutiable; they won’t
Aspire, astound, establish or estrange.”
