5. 3d Answer, By the Same

The Stewarts Race, ’tis true, o’er Britain reign’d,
And much their hands with blood of martyrs stain’d. 
At last did they the British throne resign, 
And left it to a more illustrious Line, 
Who are of truth and honour both possest, 
And each successor still becomes the best. 
Such noble Kings ne’er fill’d the British throne, 
And always best belov’d where most they’re known. 
Now, —, take back thy lies again to hell, 
And tell thy master they of sulphur smell.
