Transcriber's note:
Text in italics in the original is surrounded by underscores
(_italics_).
Text in a Gothic font in the original are surrounded by equal
signs (=Gothic=).
Characters superscripted in the original are surrounded by
curly braces (example: SAM{L}).
A row of asterisks represents a thought break or an ellipsis
in a poetry quotation. Other asterisks indicate censored names.
The original uses two kinds of blockquotes--one type has words
in a smaller font, and the other uses extra white space before
and after the quotation. The transcriber has used wider margins
to represent the smaller font and two blank lines before and
after to represent extra white space.
Variations in spelling and hyphenation have been left as in the
original. A few typographical errors have been corrected. A
complete list follows the text.

BUT MONSTERS CROWN'D, AND CRIME ENROBED WITH POWER!

AND BOLDLY BRAND SUCH PRODIGIES OF SIN;
WITH PREGNANT PHRASE, AND STRONG IMPARTIAL VERSE,
THE CRIMES OF LORDS AND CRIMES OF KINGS REHEARSE!"
