TUTCHIN'S
Everlasting Monument;
OR,
JOHN Drawn to the Life.
An EPITAPH
In Memory of John Tutchin, to be Inscribed in Letters of
Brass upon the Triangle Monument near Padington.
Humbly Recommended to the CALVES HEAD Clubb.
Subscriptions are taken in by his Wife.

HERE Lies Stoick John,
Born since Forty and One,
Reviver of the Good old Cause,
Who when alive,
Made Schism to thrive
In Spight of all our Laws.

He Banter'd the Court,
The Church was his Sport,
And Spoil'd the design of the Tack;
The Navy him fear'd,
Wherever they steer'd,
That Roger would Towel their Back.

Charles Leslie and Rook
He often put to't,
And sadly besmear'd the Gown;
The Ministry Blur'd,
Jack car'd not a T---d
For Her that Inherits the Crown.

All Power was given,
To the People from Heav'n,
John prov'd by Right and good Reason;
Before he was Bang'd,
He ought t've been Hang'd
Long since, for Damnable Treason.
