AN ADDRESS FROM SALAMANCA , To her ( unknown ) Off-spring , Dr . T. O. Concerning the present State of Affairs in ENGLAND , Natura — — Os Homini sublime dedit . SON Titus , ( for so you strive to be To me , and to the worlds vain Pageantry ) From that a Blessing justly you may crave , You the Wits Subject , to your self a Slave ; On you they lofty fancies daily file , But Fancies scarce from you can get a smile . Sure such a Boy as you I never bore ; Or if I did , I never saw you more , After Latona from my Breast you tore . I 'll SWEAR it not ; for Mothers may Mistake the morning-light for noon of day : Short is their sleep , waken'd by Agonies , Sorrow for Sons , and careful Jealousies . Such are my Cares for thee , Oh! could I see In Parchment Records , or in History Thy Name Inroll'd , that I might Blessings give To thy great Soul , by which thou long maist live ; But finding not thy Name , I scarce believe Thou didst from Us a Doctors Garb receive : Of thee the only knowledge England writes , To thee do flock her True blue Favourites . An O Ye , Yes , some time ago came hither , For Bills as Black as the fall'n Lucifer : After a Doctor too they did enquire , Who was ( they say ) of our Grave Learned Choir . An Ingenious Pen , with Face Sublime , Does thee describe , as in old time The Poets feign'd Blest Nature to have drest Mankind , to specifie it from Savage Beast . We read of Mighty Heroes , and of Fame Sounding Retreats to sense in lofty strain . Of Oaths we hear prophan'd to that degree , They work Despair in subtile Gravity , They seem Consederates with Anarchy . A Laboratory too we find there is , Which you frequent , and seldom miss : There is beat out much Cunning Closet-Plots , And there you wreath Associating Knots . There is a Mighty Smalster , as some tell us , An Emet of a man , from whom God bless us : This Pismire you have lately found , Since the Severer Winters left the Ground . Hector you 'r turn'd , you swear , and damn the Nation , But of the two the former's most your Fashion : King , Prince and Tory all you 'd drive before ye , Hurling your Oaths at those that never saw ye ; Your Mercenary Tongue does Vice decry , Your practice does commend what you deny : Such holy Cheats as these we can discern ; Thus distant from you , we such Frauds can learn ; Wonder not , discerning Heads can farther pry In disguiz'd Cassocks sanctifi'd Knavery , And into Campaign-Coats Cajolry . Destruction naked on your Brow appears , But such it is , that few there are it fears . Such news as this dislodges you from our Breast , Where you did never as a DOCTOR rest . Keep ( if thou canst ) in beautious Albions Plain , A Soil too good for thy distemper'd Brain . A Shipwrack'd Vessel maist thou be In thine own Sea of Perjury . Farewel ; No more to Salamanca Dear , The Name of Son and Mother dyeth here . Excuse me then , if Curses to thee come From Salamanca , due to such a Son . Given at our Consistory at Salamanca , May 10. New-stile , Old-stile May 20. ' Per Public ' Notar ' Hugone Peters Redivivus .
