Valens |
Ye Ministers of Juſtice, lead them hence, |
Ye ministers of justice, lead them hence, |
I cannot, will not, bear ſuch Inſolence. |
I cannot, will not, bear such insolence. |
And as our Gods they honour, or deſpiſe, |
And as our gods they honour, or despise, |
Fall they their Supplicants, — or Sacrifice. |
Fall they their supplicants — or sacrifice. |
