THE TYRANT

The tyrant in great malice without cease
Intent on self-serving crimes and hate
Hides his spreading fraud
And makes infernal noise
Seem like a Spring of peace.
Under the protection of his sword

Godless violence
Is made to seem like comfortable civil change
And in confusion lie and ruin
Bring all unbounded power
Unto himself arrange
