Question

The art of order to a peopled kingdom,

They have a king and officers of sorts;

Where some, like magistrates, correct at home;

Others, like merchants, venture trade abroad;

Others, like soldiers, armed in their stings;

Make boot upon the summer’s velvet buds;

Which pillage they with merry march bring home

To the tent royal of their emperor ;

Who, busied in his magesty, surveys,

The singing masons building roofs of gold,

The civil citizens kneading up the honey,

The poor mechanic porters crowding in

Their heavy burdens at his narrowgate,

The sad eyed Justice, with his surly hum,

Delivering over to executors pale

The lazy yawning drone
