As once a twelvemonth to the priest,
Holy at Rome, here Antichrist,
The Spanish King presents a jennet,
To show his love,—that's all that's in it;
For if his Holiness would thump

His reverend bum 'gainst horse's rump,
He might be' equipp'd from his own stable
With one more white, and eke more able.

1 This gentleman was one of the wits of Charles the Second's Court, and the author of several poems published in the miscellanies of that time: but he now is more creditably remembered as the patron of Prior.
