So shall my England, in a holy war,
In triumph lead chain'd tyrants from afar;
Her true Crusado shall at last pull down
The Turkish crescent, and the Persian sun.
Freed by thy labours, fortunate, bloss'd isle,
The earth shall rest, the heaven shall on thee smile;
And this kind secret for roward shall give,

NO POISON'D TYRANTS ON THY EARTH SHALL LIVE.

ON COLONEL BLOOD'S ATTEMPT TO STEAL
THE CROWN."

When daring BLOOD, his rent to have regain'd,
Upon the English diadem distrain'd;

He chose the cassock, circinglo, and gown,
The fittest mask for one that robs the crown;
But his lay-pity underneath prevail'd,
And whilst he sav'd the keeper's life, he fail'd.
With the priest's vestment had he but put on
The prelates' cruelty, the crown had gone.

This daring ruffian was notorious for seizing the person of the DUKE OF ORMOND, with an intention to hang him at Tyburn, and for stealing, the Crown out of the Tower. He was nearly successful in both these enterprises. The cunning of this fellow was equal to his intrepidity. He told the King, by whom he was examined, that he had undertaken to kill him; and that he went for that purpose to a place in the river where he bathed; but was struck with so profound an awe upon the sight of his (naked) Majesty, that his resolution failed him, and he entirely laid aside his design: that he belonged to a band of ruthians equally desperate with himself, who had bound themselves by the strongest oaths, to revenge the death of any of their associates. Upon which he received the royal pardon, and a handsome pension. He was no longer considered as an impudent criminal, but as a Court favou rite; and application was made to the throne, through the mediation of Mc. Blood. He died the 24th August, 1680. ROCHESTER, in his "History of Insipids," notices this villain in the following lines:

"Blood, that wears treason in his face,

Villain complete in parson's gown,
How much is he at court in grace,
For stealing Ormond and the Crown!
Since loyalty does no mau good,
Let's steal the King and outdo Blood."
