Besides there were the Spaniard, Dutch, and Dane;

In short, an universal shoal of shades

From Otaheite's isle to Salisbury Plain,

Of all climes and professions, years and trades,

Ready to swear against the good king's reign,[hd]

Bitter as clubs in cards are against spades:[530]

All summoned by this grand "subpoena," to

Try if kings mayn't be damned like me or you.
