Classic Poem

Algernon Sidney fills this Tomb,
An Atheist , by disclaiming Rome ;
A Rebel bold, for striving still
To keep the Laws above the Will,
And hind'ring those wou'd tread 'em down,
To leave no Limits to a Crown:
Crimes, damn'd by Church and Government,
But, Oh! where must his Soul be sent?
Of Heav'n it ever must despair,
If that the Pope be Turn-Key there:]
And Hell it ne'er can entertain,
For there is all tyrannick Reign;
And Purgatory's such Pretence,
It ne'er receiv'd a Man of Sense:
Where goes it then? why, where it ought to go,
Where neither Pope , nor Devil , have to do.
