That Lambertwith all his men of Mars
Have submitted to kiss the Parliaments Arse,

Could never give to old Olivers nose:

When the head shal see the RUMP all be-shit,
Sure this must prove a most lucky hit:

Wil jeer the RUMP with, and cry Hoddy Doddy,
Here's a Parliament all Arse and no Body.

Tis a likely matter the world wil mend
When so much blood and treasure we spend,
And yet begin again at the wrong End:
Which etc.

We have been round and round about twirl'd,
And through much sad confusions hurl'd,
And now we are got into the arse of the world:
Which etc.

But 'tis not all this our courage wil quail,
Or make the brave Seamen to the RUMP strike sail,
If we can have no head, we wil have no Tail:
Which etc.

Then let a Free-Parliament be turnd trump,
And nere think any longer the Nation to mump
With your pocky, perjur'd, damnd, old Rump:
Which etc.

But what doth Rebel Rump make here
When their proper place (as Will. Pryn doth swear)
Is at the Devils arse in Derbyshire:
Which etc.

Then thither let us send them a tilt,
For if they stay longer, they wil us beguilt
With a Government that is loose in the Hilt:
Which etc.

Youl find it set down in Harringtons Moddle,
Whose brains a Commonwealth do so coddle,
That t'as made a Rotation in his noddle:
Which etc.

is a pitiful pass you men of the Sword
Have brought yourselves to, that the Rumps your Lord,
And Arsie-Versie, must be the word,
Which, etc.

Our powder and shot you did freely spend,
That the Head you might from the Body rend,
And now you are at us with the But-end,
Which; etc.

Old Martin and Scot have still such an itch,
That they will with the Rump try to'ther twitch;
And Lenthal can gtease a fat Sow in the britch:

To see this stinking Rump quite off the hooks,
And Jack-Daw go to pot with the Rooks.
Which, etc.

This forward Sir John (who the Rump did never fail)
Against Charles Stuart, in a Speech did rail;
But men say it was without head or tail,
Which, etc.

Just such is the Government wee live under,
Of a Parliament thrice cut in sunder;
And this hath made us the worlds wonder,
Which, etc.

Did prophecy well we should all smart-a,
And now wee have found his RUMPS Magna Fart-a,

To be kin to the Fiend, whose feet are cloven,
Nor will creep i'th Rumps Arse, to bake in their Oven,
Which, etc.

Then since he is coming, e'ne let him come
From the North to the South, with Sword and Drum,
To beat up the quarters of this lewd Bum;
Which, etc.

And now of this Rump I'le say no more,
Nor had I begun, but upon this score,
There was something behind, which was not before;
Which, etc.
