AN HUMBLE ADDRESS TO THAT MOST VENERABLE AND ANTIENT PUNK,
THE WHORE OF BABYLON. Translated from the French Original,
by a zealous Protestant.
Old, toothless, pox'd, mischievous Hag of night;
Old graceless witch, who liv'st in virtue's spite;
Old treacherous beldham, burden to the earth,
Plots, broils, and wars from thee derive their birth. (a)
. . . [28 lines]
Thy only sighs are vented at thy bumb,
Outstink a carrion, and outroar a drum.
. . . [48 more lines, and extensive footnotes]
