The Happy Return of the Old Dutch MILLER.
To the Tune of the First.
|
[1]
|
GOod People of England, I hope you have had
|
Experience of my Art in my Trade;
|
For I am the Miller that was here before,
|
And grownd Women young, of four or five-score.
|
Then make haste Customers, bring in your Tribes;
|
I'l quickly dispatch them without any Bribes.
|
For I am so Zealous for Whiglanders Crew,
|
I'l cure their Distempers with one Turn or Two.
|
[2]
|
And now (for your comfort) I am come again,
|
To cure the defection amongst all your Men;
|
Whether they be Factious, Stupid or Lame;
|
Let's see e're a Chymist that can do the same.
|
Then make haste Customers, etc.
|
[3]
|
If you have e're a City that's troubl'd with Simples;
|
That's over-rich grown, and has Rebellious pimples
|
I'l strip it of all these defects in an hour,
|
And make it submit to the King or the Tower.
|
Then make haste Customers, etc.
|
[4]
|
If you have an Old Cripple that sits and designs,
|
Which way to destroy the King and his Vines;
|
Or if that his Tap stand in the wrong place,
|
And piss above Navle, I'l cure his Disease.
|
Then make haste Customers, etc.
|
[5]
|
In my Mill I will put him, 'twixt two Sainted Whores,
|
Who shall raise his Rudder with help of their Oars:
|
Between their warm Bellies, like Pug, he shall lye,
|
Till they suck out his Senses, and leave his Tap dry.
|
Then make haste Customers, etc.
|
[6]
|
Then out of the Stew I'l hang him o' th' Top
|
Of one of my Sails, at the end of a Rope:
|
There in the wind he shall swing up and down,
|
Till he caper and grin with th' best Monky in Town.
|
Then make haste Customers, etc.
|
[7]
|
If you have e're a Fop that's proud of a String,
|
And fain would aspire to the Throne of a King:
|
Bring him to my Mill, I will presently show
|
If he's qualified for a Monarch, or no.
|
Then make haste Customers, etc.
|
[8]
|
If you have e're a Lord that's Pimp to his Wife,
|
And to hide his Horns would venture his Life:
|
Send Her to my Mill, I'l venture a Tryal,
|
To make Her as Honest as e're He was Loyal.
|
Then make hast Customers, etc.
|
[9]
|
If you have e're a Slabering Lord that's a Fool,
|
And sits in Cabals, a Kingdom to Rule,
|
And stands for a States-man: I'le make him as able
|
As ever a Helper in all his own Stable.
|
Then make haste Customers, etc.
|
[10]
|
If you have e're a Lord that used to Preach
|
I' th' Top of a Crab-Tree, above all your reach,
|
And still the Lords Supper expos'd in Lambs-wool:
|
Send him to my Mill, I'le Reform his Skull.
|
Then make haste Customers, etc.
|
[11]
|
If you have e'r a Knight that's Knave and Thred-bare,
|
That deals in Neck-Laces, and such kind of Ware:
|
And stole the best Plot, now hides it in Bristol:
|
Bring him to my Mill, I'le make him confess't all.
|
Then make haste Customers, etc.
|
[12]
|
If you have, or had, any Sheriffs that are Whigs,
|
That have cut off some Heads, and are cutting off Legs
|
Bring them, and their Perjur'd Juries together,
|
I'l turn 'em all round in my Mill with the Weather,
|
Then make haste Customers, etc.
|
[13]
|
If you have e'r a Doctor that has ne'r a Mouth,
|
But a Hole in the place for a Nose, North & South:
|
Put him in my Mill, it shall make him speak Sense
|
Behind and before, like a Quaker in Trance.
|
Then make hast Customers, etc.
|
[13]
|
If He has been Perjur'd Ten Thousand times o'r,
|
And for want of Imployment begins to grow Poor;
|
I'l make him as Rich (if he know his own Name)
|
As when he came Mumping from Flanders or Spain.
|
Then make haste Customers, etc.
|
[15]
|
If Forty Religions he dares to Believe,
|
And yet Preacheth Blasphemy, Fools to deceive:
|
Put him in my Mill, with more of the Grist,
|
I'l make him a Devil, a Man, or a Beast.
|
Then make haste Customers, etc.
|
[16]
|
If you have any Plots, either Sham Ones or True Ones,
|
Bring out the Contrivers, both black ones & blew ones:
|
I'l either Refine 'em from all their past Ill,
|
Or else I will strangle them All in my MILL.
|
Then make hast Customers, bring in our Tribes,
|
I'l quickly dispatch them without any Bribes;
|
For I am so Zealous for Whiglanders Crew,
|
I'l cure their Distempers with One Turn or Two.
