THE
WHIGGS LAMENTATION,
For the Death of their Dear Brother Colledge,
The Protestant JOYNER.
To the Tune of, Now, Now, the Fights Done, and the Great God of War, etc.
|
(I.)
|
BRave Colledge is Hangd, the Chief of our hopes,
|
For pulling down Bishops, and making New Popes;
|
Our dear Brother Property crawls on the Ground,
|
In Poland, K--- Anthony nere will be Crownd:
|
For now their resolvd, that Harts shall be Trump,
|
And the Prentices Swear, they will Burn the Old Rump.
|
(II.)
|
Brave Colledge, both Champion and Carver of Laws,
|
Who dyed undaunted, and stuck to the Cause;
|
What mischief might thou, to the Godly have done
|
Had thy dareing Soul, dreaded the World to come?
|
And all thy dear Party to dainger exposd,
|
If thou to the World, had thy secrets disclosd.
|
(III.)
|
But now thou art Hangd, and that fear is past,
|
Were all thats in question as safe in the Nest;
|
Then we some new means, might consult or contrive,
|
To drive on our purpose, to prosper or thrive:
|
But the Popish PLOT, has now quite lost its Name,
|
And none thy bright Blunderbush dare to maintain.
|
(IV.)
|
What K--- but Great Colledge, could ere make a Pope
|
Tho he was ore ruld by the end of the Rope?
|
Great Colledge, was certainly Jure Divino,
|
When the Tripple Crown, on the Popes Head did Shino.
|
He burnt him to Ashes, for pastime like Nero
|
Then strait made a new one, such Power had our Hero.
|
(V.)
|
Great Colledge, must certainly dye a good Martyr,
|
Being Knight of the Halter, and above the Garter;
|
Our dear Brother States-man, tho bred in a Saw-pit,
|
Had Internal Genious, enough to orethrow Wit:
|
He framd a new Moddel, to limit the K---,
|
In hopes Crown and Sceptre, might truckle to him.
|
(VI.)
|
Great Britain, nere bred such a Brother as Colledge,
|
He made Seven Popes, in his Time on our knowledge;
|
Our Signals of Crimes, he put in the Popes Armes,
|
Which prudent Contrivance, our Function Alarms.
|
With threats in Petition, Kings Power to restrain,
|
Yet Towser, and Broomstaff, rides Admiral again.
|
(VII.)
|
Great Hanibals Conquest, nor Olivers Nose,
|
Could with such small Slaughter, subdue such great Foes,
|
As he in this three years, with help of our Party,
|
Hath checkt our three Kingdoms and Magnae Carta.
|
The Head of our Church, and the Head of our Cause,
|
He would have maintaind them by Perjury and Blows.
|
(VIII.)
|
He now may be calld, a third Saviour oth Nation,
|
To save his dear Church, he Renounced Salvation;
|
Like Famous Cargile, he dyd for King Jesus,
|
Defying Church Idols, enough to amaze us:
|
He tyd up together, both his and our Crimes,
|
And dyd like a Devil, to damp our Designes.
|
(IX.)
|
Our Case toth Carrecter-men, we must refer
|
To Shadwell, and Settle, to Curtis, and Carr.
|
To know who Succeeds, our Late Captain the Joyner,
|
He must be an Artist, some Carver, or Coyner,
|
To make our Solemnity, and some New Popes,
|
On which our dependency, hangs and our hopes.
|
(X.)
|
But when the time comes, that the Pope must be burnd
|
I fear we shall finde that the Tide is much turnd?
|
For the Tory Party, hath got so much ground,
|
To Head a Rebellion theres none will be found;
|
For now theyr Resolved that Harts shall be Trump,
|
And the Prentices Swear, theyl burn the Old Rump.
|
(XI.)
|
Such a confused Monster, they swear theyl Compose
|
Of all the Dissenters, that are the Kings Foes;
|
The Baptist, and Biter, the Pendant, and Quaker,
|
From which they will draw such a prodigious Creature:
|
More Diabolical Invective Far,
|
Then all Popes Solemnitys at Temple-Barr.
|
(XII.)
|
Our Common-Councel lets Summon together,
|
To Pannel packt Jurys, Lets makt our endeavour,
|
For an Habeus Corpus, insist on our Power;
|
To fetch our Great Patriots out of the Tower;
|
And then wele Dispute the Case, for Reformation,
|
And make the Proud Torys Resign us the Nation
|
