XXXIX.

Think if then George the Fourth should be dug up![503]How the new worldlings of the then new East

Will wonder where such animals could sup!

(For they themselves will be but of the least:

Even worlds miscarry, when too oft they pup,

And every new creation hath decreased

In size, from overworking the material—

Men are but maggots of some huge Earth's burial.)
