So busie still, strewing her Spice, and thenRemoving Coales, vexing the Fire agen,As if some queasie Goddesse had profess'd,To taste no smoak that day, but what she dress'd:This holy coyle she living kept; but farreMore busie now, with more delightfull careThan when she watch'd the consecrated Flame,Sh'attends the Shade of gentle Buckingham;Who there unenvi'd sits, with Chaplets crownd;And with wise scorne, smiles on the Peoples wound;He call'd it so; for though it touch'd his heart,His Nation feeles the rancour, and the smart.
