A POEM ( By way of ELEGIE ) UPON Mr Stephen Colledge , Vulgarly known by the Name of The PROTESTANT JOYNER . AH Colledge ! how relentless is thy Fate , That will not grant to Life a longer date ! No Cordial Ignoramus can retrieve Thy fainting Spirits , and new Vitals give . Since the too long and last Farewel you took , How lonely seems the Coffee-house to look ! Your long beloved Twist , that us'd to be Sedition mixt with little Loyalty , Complains of your long absence , and doth fear Some Rival Twist will entertain you there . Circl'd within her Hempen Arms , you 'll be Rapt in surprizing Sweets of Extasie : There to unenvi'd Bliss you 'll safely soar , Till Breath begin to fail , and you give o'er . Great Martyr , Stephen , who shall now succeed To lance Religion till the Beldam bleed ? Under whose circumspection will you see Your Infant-Libels that in time may be Fomenters of your fatal Jealousie ? Was 't thus you sought for Libertie and ease , Redress of Grievances , and endless Peace ? Incorrigible Zealot ! sigh , and see How painfully you 've drudg'd for misery . Thus the too active Sun , himself betrays , Exhaling Mists that intercept his Rays . But now he dies , his Stratagems do fail : Heark how the whining Puritans bewail . Their Shams and Train of Oaths discover'd lay ; Let them seek easier people to betray . Yet on their Darling Colledge we 'll bestow An artless Monumental Verse or two . HEre lies the man that zealously wou'd be Pretending Union and Liberty : But now his Glew-pot's useless , 't is too late ; He cannot piece the breaches of the State . FINIS .
