Verse from Pro Populo Anglicano Defensio

Who released to Salmasius his " hundred "
and taught the magpie to presume our words?
Master of art, the belly, and the hundred
Jacobuses, the inwards of the purse of the exiled king, led him.
Because if a hope of deceitful coin glistened,
this fellow, who lately threatened to demolish the supremacy
of the Pope, the Antichrist, with a single puff,
would gratuitously sing the song of the Cardinals.
