|
Come [hark] and hear and draw me nigh,
|
Good People all that pass me by:
|
Give Audience, and slight me not,
|
And give your Ears an Antidote:
|
Of late the whole Worlds great Trapan,
|
Thats half a Hog and half a Man
|
Hath run; none knows from whence nor whether,
|
But all affirm that he came hither.
|
A Linsy Wolfy Emprick Doctor,
|
A Spiritual Hocus Pocus Proctor;
|
Who did (gainst Natures Civil Laws)
|
Betray himself and Romish Cause:
|
And (tho the Lady kissd and dandld
|
Him on her Knee, and softly handld)
|
He did her slight and vilify,
|
When he had almost suckd her Drie.
|
He forgd he urgd a thing (God wot)
|
Calld Bloody Babels Popish PLO
|
And when he could it Build no more,
|
He kickd the Castle, and threw it or.
|
Hes all Religions, yet none True;
|
He Jack of all Trades doth outdoe;
|
An oaten, whiten, know not what,
|
Pretended Christian, Apostat:
|
No Papist, for he hath no Merit;
|
No Quaker, for he hath no Spirit:
|
No Protestant, for want of Grace;
|
Proteus Lodges in his Face:
|
He is no Turk, for (like a Swine)
|
He wallows in a Tub of Wine.
|
The Devils he doth most resemble,
|
Because he needs must fear and Tremble.
|
He Mumps to gain his daily Bread;
|
And he doth wear upon his Head
|
Both Cowl and Presbiterian Callet;
|
He bears a Knapsack Bag and Wallet:
|
He Bauls, he Barks, he Roars, he Grins,
|
He Swears, he Lies he pardons Sins.
|
The Race of Mankind he Abuseth,
|
And all his Brethren he Accuseth.
|
He that doth meet him (with a Cane)
|
May thresh him till he Stink again.
|
This [Tymist Turncoat] of our Age,
|
Would be a Show, if put in Cage;
|
For he is elivate (preserve us)
|
Above the Sphere of Hirco-cervus:
|
And all the World desire to see
|
What Human Monster can he be,
|
Who did set Daughter against the Mother,
|
The Father against both Son and Brother;
|
And (from the King to Countrey Clown)
|
Hath turnd the Nation up-side-down.
|
He so bewitchd the London Pedlers,
|
The Coblers, Tinkers, and the Sadlers,
|
That they (for snuffing up the Air)
|
Might with th Ephesians well compare;
|
For Rag, and Tag, and Bob-tail, all
|
The Ribble Rabble what ye call
|
Did Mold an Image Rood like Ape,
|
They calld the Romish Papish Pape,
|
And in a fury past its Doom,
|
As it had been the Pope of Rome:
|
And then (to satiate their Desire)
|
They Burnd the Heritick in Fire.
|
Had he provd True to any one,
|
His Knavery might have been unknown;
|
But Justice did most wisely Reckon
|
To fix this Rascal for a Beacon;
|
That all self-Interest Rogues may see
|
The end of Treacherous Loyalty;
|
To be an Hissing to the Nation,
|
And an abhorring Detestation.
|
For Sense and Reason both controles
|
To mend a Breach by making Holes:
|
Hes Traitour that betrays by Lies
|
A PLOT; to raise Conspiracies.
|
He needs must be a Tinkers Brother,
|
Who mends one hole, and makes another.
|
He Conjurs, (tho I blush to tell it,
|
How he did use poor Doctor Ellot)
|
For with a Wind-bal mouth Granado
|
He turnd him Turkish Runagado,
|
Swore seriously, (not in Derision)
|
That he was of the Circumcision;
|
And (for a Witness) did derect
|
His Cod-peice to Condemn his Neck:
|
He was half Hangd, but not Defacto,
|
Condemnd but in signato Actu:
|
But [ere he swang the Soveraign Tree,]
|
A Demonstration made him free.
|
This Brutish Man, or Homo-hog
|
Was Mufty once to Haman-gog;
|
Yet all his antick Tricks and Trade
|
Could hardly gain his daily Bread;
|
Therefore he (in a Hocus Prank)
|
Did turn a Spiritual Mountebank;
|
And (like a cunning Fox) crept in
|
Amongst the Romish Men of Sin,
|
Pretending that himself was nigh
|
Religious sick, in Piety.
|
With them he lived, fed-ox well,
|
Till Wanton Flesh began to swell;
|
And then his Brains began to breed
|
A Poysond Spider Homicide,
|
And Treason-big began to cry
|
A PLOT or damnd Conspiracy:
|
And chose poor Babels Whore, that she
|
Might Midwife to the Monster be.
|
Now when it was brought to the Light,
|
It seemd a Screech-Owl of the Night;
|
But when he saw its Cloven Feet,
|
He swore it was a Jesuite.
|
And threw the Brat down at his Door
|
Thats calld the Husband of the Whore:
|
Then all the Noise that filld our Streets
|
Was Papishes and Jesuites;
|
The brand of Papist was enough
|
To interchange an English Cuff;
|
But Jesuite was cause indeed
|
Enough to knock one in the Head.
|
The Huy and Cry was Fifty pound
|
To Catch where any could be found;
|
And Vulgar (that unruly Beast)
|
Did Law and Reason so Arrest,
|
That Bed-rid Justice seemd to die,
|
And Order turn to Anarchy.
