Anti-Achitophel (1682) - Three Verse Replies to Absalom and Achitophel by John Dryden by Elkanah Settle;Samuel Pordage
page 71 of 140 (50%)
And all the promis'd Wonders to be done, }
When _Egypts_ Frogs should croak on _Judahs_ Throne. }
Though of a Faith that propagates in Blood;
Of Passions unforgiving, less withstood
Then Seas and Tempests, and as Deaf as they. }
Yet all Divine shall be his Godlike Sway, }
And his calm Reign but one long _Halcyon_ Day. }
And this Great Truth he's damn'd that dares deny; }
'Gainst _Absolom_ even Oracles would lye, }
Though Sense and Reason Preach 'tis Blasphemy. }
Then let out dull Mistaken Terrour cease,
When even our Comets speak all Health and Peace.

_FINIS._
