The mufe of Dryden has recorded the loyalty of the lord mayor, under the
character of Ziloah, at the conclusion of the fecond part of “ Abfalom and
Achitophel.”

And boldly all fedition’s fyrtes item,
Howe’er incumber’d with a viler pair,
Than Ziph or Shimei to aflift the chair $
Yet Ziloah’s loyal labours fo prevail’d,

And merit by the multitude was crown’d.
With David then was Ifrael’s peace reftor’d,
Crowds mourn’d their error, and obey’d their lord.
