Bayes and his viiitors on the muiic and the dance, and then the two kings 
continue   
znd Eng.-Now mortals, that hear 
How we tilt and career; 
With wonder, will fear 
The event of such things as shall never appear. 
1]! King.-Stay you to fulfil what the gods have decreed. 
2nd King.-Then cull me to help you, if there shall be need. 
xp King.-So firmly resolved is a true Brentford king, 
To save the distressed, and help to 'em bring, 
That, ere a Full pot of good ale you can swallow, 
He's here with a whoop, and gone with a halloo. 
The rather too inquifitive Smith wonders at all this, and complains that,

"why, did you ever hear any people in the clouds {peak plain "P They

bridge, had come to protect them, and that it had come in clgT[gug'fe, an 
arrangement which puzzles the author's two vifitors  
Iji King.-What saucy groom molests our privacies? 
112 Herald,-The army's at the door, and, in disguise, 
Desirew a word with both your majesties. 
znd Herald.-Having from Knightsbridge hither march'd by stealth. 
ind King.-Bid 'em attend a while, and drink our health. 
Smith.-How, Mr. Bayes? The army in disguise! 
Bayes.-Ay, sir, for fear the usurpers might discover thcm, that went 
out butjust now.
