And in the place a lump of foap,

1595

On which he speedily leap'd up;
And, turning to the gate the rein,
He kick'd and cudgel'd on amain ;
While Hudibras, with equal haste,
On both fides laid about as fast,
And fpurr'd, as jockies ufe, to break,
Or padders to fecure, a neck:

1600

Where let us leave them for a time,

And to their Churches turn our rhyme;
To hold forth their declining state,
Which now come near an even rate.
