Listen in the reader

When presently a Parliament is calld To sett things steddy, that stood not so right, But that thereby the poore might be inthral'd, Should they be vrged by those that were of might, That in his Empire, equitie enstauld, It should continue in that perfect plight; Wherefore to Lester, he th'Assembly drawes, There to Inact those necessary Lawes.
