Blown by surmises, jealousies, conjectures
And of so easy and so plain a stop
That the blunt monster with uncounted heads,
The still-discordant wavering multitude,
Can play upon it.

Keep the wild flood confined! Let order die!
And let this world no longer be a stage
To feed contention in a ling’ring act.
