We then should know there were earth-gods among us , Whose independence could not need to wrong us ! And if they did , from mere ' caprice , their station Would claim a trembling and obeying nation . [ Thunders of applause , and thunders of opposition . ARIA . But since we find they ' re maik'd full oft As nature ' s verriest fools , la all things save the herald ' s craft ,

Aught rational for governing , But talk , sleep , drink , Wear out in wantonness , game , dance , and sing , And die , bequeathing to like noble folks , Pride , wealth , disease , and the same glorious hoax ! \_ A continued uproar of applause , and aristocratic execration .
