An Excellent New Song Being the Intended Speech of a Famous Orator Against Peace. 1711

An orator dismal of Nottinghamshire, Who has forty years let out his conscience to hire,
Out of zeal for his country, and want of a place,
Is come up, vi et armis, to break the queen's peace.
He has vamp'd an old speech, and the court, to their sorrow,
Shall hear him harangue against Prior to-morrow.
When once he begins, he never will flinch,
But repeats the same note a whole day like a Finch.
I have heard all the speech repeated by Hoppy,'
And, "mistakes to prevent, I've obtained a copy."
