ENGLANDS TRIUMPH.
OR THE
RUMP ROUTED
By the true Assertor of Englands Interest,
Generall George Monck.
A SONET
To the Tune of, Fill up the Parliament full.
|
WHat maketh the Souldiers
|
To stand to their Arms?
|
'Tis for what they profest
|
To keep us from harms,
|
The Members Secluded
|
Come now in by Swarms
|
To fill up the Parliament Full, full, full.
|
To fill up the Parliament Full.
|
You know that the City Gates
|
Late were thrown down,
|
The Walls too were order'd
|
By Parliament Frown:
|
But General Monck, has pleas'd
|
Souldier and Gown,
|
And fil'd up the Parliament Full, full, full
|
And fil'd up the Parliament Full.
|
A dispute there was had
|
By the Members Secluded,
|
Brave Monck was the Umpire
|
And found them Deluded,
|
But Englands great joy
|
Is now wholy Concluded:
|
For he's fild up the Parliament Full, full, full
|
He's fil'd up the Parliament full.
|
Sir Arthur the Valiant
|
Must make his speech Large,
|
Lest the Members Excluded
|
Lay Treason to's Charge,
|
Hee'd better t'have dealt
|
With his Newcastle Barge,
|
Than to see the Old Parliament Full, full, full
|
Than to see the Old Parliament full.
|
The Aldermen Grave,
|
And the Commons o'th City,
|
Imprisoned were
|
The more is the Pity,
|
But Gen'ral Monck said,
|
That I will acquit yee,
|
For the Parliament now shall be full, full, full
|
For the Parliament now shall be full:
|
Have you not seen
|
Fresh flowers in the Spring;
|
And have you not heard
|
A Cage-Bird to sing?
|
But if the Cage Members
|
Would bring in the King--
|
It would fill up the Parliament Full, full, full;
|
It would fill up the Parliament full.
|
The Parliament now will
|
Come into their Geers,
|
For Secluded PRYN
|
(That once lost his Ears)
|
Marcht in with his Rapier
|
For Commons and Peers,
|
To fill up the Parliament Full, full, full,
|
To fill up the Parliament full.
|
Whose often Declaring
|
Ha's furnish't the Nation
|
With Parliament Arguments
|
Of the old Fashion,
|
And would have both
|
King, Lords and Peers in this Nation
|
To fill up the Parliament Full, full, full
|
To fill up the Parliament full.
|
Our brave General Monck
|
We bound are to thank,
|
The Honest Lord Fairfax
|
Ha's plaid (too) his Prank
|
No thanks to be given
|
To the Rump nor the Shank
|
To fill up the Parliament Full, full, full
|
To fill up the Parliament full.
|
Had the City ne'r mov'd,
|
Nor the Prentices strove,
|
They'd lost their Old Charter:
|
But MONCK had a love
|
To challenge the Grand Ones
|
Which Mischiefs did move;
|
And so fill'd up the Parliament Full, full, full,
|
And so fill'd up the Parliament full.
