    My London friends disown me, I am an Irish quaker ; Two faults I have, I play the knave. And I forget my maker. To physic hred at Leyden, I am a Leyden phial ; I'm charg'd with matter that makes a clatter. Of this there's no denial. Impatient of control, I Still act as it behoves me. And ev'ry friend in turn offend. For 'tis the spirit moves me; A spirit not of concord. But one of opposition. Perpetual strife embitt'ring life. And av'rice, and ambition. First, first itmov'd a Fox, for All, all the race are Tartars ; To gain my ends, I tell my friends, I'm one of Fox's martyrs. Turn'd out of place, I now form The Lon Vac Institution; Endure the stroke like heart of oak. And thrive by persecution.
