Hemp for the Flaxman:
OR,
A Friday Feast Kid-Napped. Apr. 21. 1682.
|
THE Good Old Cause,
|
And Fundamental Laws,
|
Did with the Great Name begin;
|
And GOD IS WITH US,
|
Said the Commons House,
|
Soon after th Unpardon---* Sin.
|
Prefacd was the same
|
Ever-Hallowed Name
|
At our Protestant Kid-Nappers Call;
|
For Defiance o th Beast,
|
By an Holy Love-Feast
|
At Loyalty-pursing-Hall.
|
MEN WORTHY none.
|
(Worthy Men Alone
|
Must benefit have of a Ticket:)
|
Those neer understood
|
A Common-Wealths Good
|
Which flows from the L------ of the Spicket.
|
But C------ who soon guest
|
The pretended Love Feast,
|
Would be a fresh Association:
|
The Junctos Grand Hydra
|
Did sever That Friday:
|
True Hercules of our LERNEAN Nation!
|
Arsy Versy: Or, Riddle of Riddles.
|
All Head, All Feet; All Rump, yet Body All:
|
All Knave, All Fool; All Dove-like, yet All Gall:
|
All Slave, All King; All Sinner, yet All Saint:
|
All Mixture, All Sincere; All Truth, All Paint:
|
All Peer, All Peasant; All Thats Bad, All Best:
|
Say, Reader, are not these All Marks o th Beast.
|

---Nunquam, si quid mihi credis, amavi
HUNC Hominem, cujus sceleri non invenit ipsa
Nomen, & a nullo posuit natura METALLO.
O qualis facies, & quali Digna Tabella!
