The Negative PROPHESY
found under the Ruins of
WHITE-HALL.
|
I Sing NOT of Jove's Mighty Thunder,
|
The New made Lords, or Vigo Plunder;
|
Nor of the C---ns Godly Frolick,
|
To settle Christ's Church Apostolick,
|
Nor of the Pious Convocation,
|
Clearer than Doves from Gall or Passion:
|
How those Grave Rabies, to a Wonder,
|
Kept Her[l]sies and Schisms under:
|
How Binks and Kimberly did Shine
|
In that Dark Orb with Rays Divine.
|
With what Devotion and Behaviour
|
The Sawcy Priest Blasphem'd our Saviour,
|
How each his Talent did Exert
|
With Arguments not worth a F------rt,
|
To prove that plainly a Majori
|
No Reverence was due Superiory.
|
Whether it was for Ostentation,
|
Or to promote our Reformation;
|
Or to Repent for telling Tales
|
And Drinking N------ts to to the Pr------ of W------s.
|
That M------w, top full of Grace,
|
In Royal Chair refus'd her place.
|
I tell not why the --- content
|
To share with her the Government:
|
Nor do I care how many Scars
|
Our Beaus do bring from Field of Mars;
|
Whether the Noisy Fops, at Wills,
|
Do go to Hell to Pay their Bills,
|
When they'l take Antwerp or Ostend,
|
When matters on the Rhine will mend,
|
Or when the War will have an End.
|
When Leopoldus will grow Wise,
|
The Sweed lay by his French Disguise,
|
The Czar well bang'd to make him Quiet,
|
The Poles by Bleeding and Low Diet
|
With the Dull Swisse, restor'd agen,
|
Shake of the Asse and act like Men.
|
Eugenus with his Vetrans sent
|
To make the French a Carpi Complement.
|
When we shall get In------e
|
An A--- ---y, with more Sence,
|
Courtiers have less Knavery,
|
Sea-Captains shew more Bravery.
|
When High Church Rampant shall agree
|
To have Partners in their Roguery.
|
J------n H------w and S------r with the rest Decree
|
Neither to Bribe nor Punish Bribery:
|
When under Cloaks and Cassocks there shall lie
|
Nothing but Faith and Sound Divinity,
|
Then shall the Golden Age once more be seen,
|
Then Heaven and Earth shall Sing God save the QUEEN.
