A31730	The Character of an Irish-man, or, A dear-joy painted to the life		1689 (1689)	Wing C2012; ESTC R9048	1,660	6

the_o character_n of_o a_o irishman_n or_o a_o dear-joy_n paint_v to_o the_o life_n since_o the_o arrival_n of_o the_o teague-land_n troop_n in_o this_o protestant_a kingdom_n who_o can_v admire_v at_o the_o surprise_n and_o consternation_n of_o our_o english_a nation_n when_o they_o look_v upon_o it_o to_o be_v as_o bad_a as_o a_o new_a massacre_n and_o much_o more_o formidable_a than_o a_o dvtch-invasion_n but_o if_o this_o be_v the_o effect_n of_o our_o fear_n where_o be_v our_o fortitude_n where_o be_v our_o true_a english_a courage_n where_o be_v our_o ancient_a grandeur_n can_v it_o be_v consistent_a with_o the_o temper_n of_o a_o true_a englishman_n who_o name_n have_v be_v a_o terror_n to_o all_o nation_n to_o fear_v a_o neighbour_a subject_n be_v it_o not_o a_o diminution_n of_o that_o ancient_a glory_n that_o once_o keep_v all_o the_o universe_n in_o awe_n england_n fear_v no_o incursion_n then_o but_o make_v they_o our_o warlike_a king_n like_o julius_n caesar_n come_v and_o see_v and_o wheresoev_a they_o come_v do_v overcome_v and_o shall_v we_o stand_v in_o dread_n of_o such_o a_o morsel_n as_o will_v hardly_o serve_v the_o bull-and-mouth_n for_o a_o breakfast_n before_o a_o long-winded_a meeting_n if_o they_o be_v stranger_n we_o ought_v to_o treat_v they_o with_o civility_n if_o they_o be_v fellow-subject_n we_o ought_v to_o embrace_v they_o if_o they_o
