THE BELGICK LYON DISCOVERD . 'T Is done ! the Belgick Lyon , whose loud roar Fill'd all the Ocean from Shore to Shore With Noise and Vapour ; is uncas'd , and now Discovers both his Ears , and Body too ; Those Swoln Romantique Papers which have flown Abroad and fill'd each Part of Christendom With Lying Rumors , which proclaim'd what you Both had Design'd and were resolv'd to Do That durst with base unhallow'd Ink defile The Reputation of the Noblest Isle Great Neptune's Arms e're circled , nay blaspheme That Sacred Head which wears a Diadem Second to none in Europe , now appear Just Monuments both of your Shame and Fear True Pourtraits of your Baseness , Wretched Slaves Did you believe that your Batavian Braves Could fright the Brittish Monarch ? Skellums , no! The greatest of your Force is much below His cheapest Thoughts ; though all your Heere 's wore Crown Rich as the Sun e're saw , though all your Towns Were Hogen-Mogen Empires , though your Souls Were keener then your Cheese , and your fat Joules Big as your Brandy , yet he 'le give you knocks ●uch as will break the strongest Butter-box ; Will melt you into your first Mass , and then You 'le be the Poor distressed States agen ; But you were got on Tip-toe th' Air of France ●●d purg'd Phlegm , and taught you how to dance , These new Lavaltoes , dull-brain'd stupid Rogues . Worst then the worst of men , then Indian Jogues Could you forget what great ELIZA did When A●●as Duke , Colossus like bestrid Your Jadish Backs , when th' Inquisition tore Your heart-strings out , and bath'd your sides in Core , When Sea and Land were both shut up , and you Neither knew where to stay , nor how to go , The English Valour then , ( so much of late Despis'd by you ) buoy'd up your sinking State , Rescu'd you from that Force , by which you were Thrown down into the bottom of Despaire , These then were favours , which to do you right You ever since have labour'd to requite Witness the Kindness , which by you was shewn To us at Banda , and at Pulleroon Amboina's Mercies too were great , and such As did to all men speak you truly DVTCH , Know then you Fen-bred Frogs , the time is come Will give you a just Retribution The Mighty God , the God of Battels has Furbish'd that Sword which sav'd you then , to pass Thorough your Bowels now , that hand which he Advanc'd to break your Bonds and set you free He 'le arm with Vengeance , and Vindictive Rage , To beat you into your first Vassallage .
