<l>In pious times, e'r Priest-craft did begin,</l>
<l>Before <i>Polygamy</i> was made a sin;</l>
<l>When man, on many, multiply'd his kind,</l>
<l>E'r one to one was, cursedly, confind:</l>
<l>When Nature prompted, and no law deny'd</l>
<l>Promiscuous use of Concubine and Bride;</l>
<l>Then, <i>Israel's</i> Monarch, after Heaven's own heart,</l>
<l>His vigorous warmth did, variously, impart</l>
<l>To Wives and Slaves: And, wide as his Command,</l>
<l>Scatter'd his Maker's Image through the Land.</l>
<l><i>Michal</i>, of Royal blood, the Crown did wear,</l>
<l>A Soyl ungratefull to the Tiller's care:</l>

<l>Not so the rest; for several Mothers bore</l>
<l>To Godlike <i>David</i . . .
