He said, and for the dire success depends On various sects, by common guilt made friends. Whose heads, though ne'er so differing in their creed, I' th' point of treason yet were well agreed. 'Mongst these, extorting Ishban first appears, 280 Pursued by a meagre troop of bankrupt heirs. Blest times when Ishban, he whose occupation So long has been to cheat, reforms the nation! Ishban of conscience suited to his trade, As good a saint as usurer ever made. Yet Mammon has not so engross'd him quite, But Belial lays as large a claim of spite; Who, for those pardons from his prince he draws, Returns reproaches, and cries up the cause. That year in which the city he did sway, 290 He left rebellion in a hopeful way, Yet his ambition once was found so bold, To offer talents of extorted gold; Could David's wants have so been bribed, to shame And scandalize our peerage with his name; For which, his dear sedition he'd forswear, And e'en turn loyal to be made a peer. Next him, let railing Rabsheka have place, So full of zeal he has no need of grace; A saint that can both flesh and spirit use, 300 Alike haunt conventicles and the stews: Of whom the question difficult appears, If most i' th' preacher's or the bawd's arrears. What caution could appear too much in him That keeps the treasure of Jerusalem! Let David's brother but approach the town, Double our guards, he cries, we are undone. Protesting that he dares not sleep in 's bed Lest he should rise next morn without his head.
