TEXT_EXPL_XML <p>A tyrannous, or wicked Magistrat,<lb/>
                                Is fitly represented by a Catt :<lb/>
                                For, though the Mice a harmfull vermine bee,<lb/>
                                And, Cats the remedie; yet, oft wee see,<lb/>
                                That, by the Mice, far lesse, some house-wives leese,<lb/>
                                Then when they set the Catt to keepe the Cheese.<lb/>
                                A ravenous Cat, will punish in the Mouse,<lb/>
                                The very same Offences, in the house,<lb/>
                                Which hee himselfe commits; yea, for that Vice,<lb/>
                                Which was his owne (with praise) he kils the Mice ;<lb/>
                                And, spoyleth not anothers life alone,<lb/>
                                Ev'n for that very fault which was his owne,<lb/>
                                But feeds, and fattens, in the spoyle of them,<lb/>
                                Whom hee, without compassion did condemne.<lb/>
                                Nay, worse than so; hee cannot bee content,<lb/>
                                To slaughter them, who are as innocent,<lb/>
                                As hee himselfe ; but, hee must also play,<lb/>
                                And sport his wofull Pris'ners lives away;<lb/>
                                More torturing them, 'twixt fruitlesse hopes and feares,<lb/>
                                Than when their bowels, with his teeth he teares:<lb/>
                                For, by much terrour, and much crueltie,<lb/>
                                Hee kills them, ten times over, e're they die.<lb/>
                                When, such like Magistrates have rule obtain'd,<lb/>
                                The best men with their powre might be restrain'd:<lb/>
                                But, they who shun enormities, through Feare,<lb/>
                                Are glad when good-men out of Office are.<lb/>
                                Yea, whether Governours bee good or bad,<lb/>
                                Of their displacings wicked-men are glad;<lb/>
                                And, when they see them brought into disgraces,<lb/>
                                They boldly play the Knaves before their faces.<lb/>
