History & Politics
On the event of these Wars betwixt the Dutch and English.
From Divinity and Morality in Robes of Poetry ([1660?])
History & Politics
SOme are such silly Statists, that they wish
Our English loss may fill the Dutchman's dish;
But most of them (I know) be such as are
A suffering Party in our Civil War:
I feel the same disease too, but would never
Exchange an Ague for a Burning Feaver.
