An Acrostick by the same Hand

Make Room below! here comes a mighty Don!
A Soul that claims a Place near Satan’s Throne.
Crimes of the deepest Dye his Worth proclaim;
Lewd, cow’rdlycowardly Traitor speaks but half his Fame.
Ev’nEven bloody Monsters held him in Disgrace.
O Judas! thou wast painted in his Face!
Down wtwith yethe Traitor ynthen, wtwith Judas to his Place.
