HIS MAJESTY'S MOST GRACIOUS SPEECH to both houses of
Parliament attempted in poetry, by James Helicon, Esq. poet
laureat to His Majesty.
My Lords and Gentlemen,
When last we met in Parliament
I plainly told you my intent;
And what my plans of operation,
And what the publick situation;
. . . [41 lines]
And setting thus the mob agig,
It wants some skill to stop their jig
Lest they become all over treason'd
And seize on North to cut his weasand.
. . . [1 1/2 more columns]
