ROOME FOR
CUCKOLDS:
OR MY
LORD LAMBERTS
ENTRANCE
INTO
SODOME and GOMORAH.
To the Tune of, Is there no more Cuckolds but I.
|
YOu Cow-hearted Citizens,
|
what is your Damn'd pretence,
|
To keep your selves within your Beds,
|
and not Fight for your Prince;
|
Whose Majesty should you behold.
|
your shames would breed your woe;
|
And then (like Fools) you will cry out,
|
Cuckolds all-a-Row.
|
Ther's some of you, whose Bishops Lands
|
do so much clogg your heels,
|
That now you cannot sturr, where as
|
else, you would Run on Wheels:
|
But yet I hope a time will come,
|
when you shall be made know,
|
And told unto your faces, that you are
|
Cuckolds all-a row.
|
But yet for one most reverend Act,
|
you are to be commended;
|
That through your Rams-head zeal you have
|
your brother Rump befriended.
|
To set them in the Parliament house,
|
their Wisdomes for to show;
|
But they (and you) are all a like
|
Cuckolds all-a-row.
|
Yet I advise you, set this Rump.
|
in Salt, for fear of Stinking;
|
'Twill fall unto the Divels share,
|
because 'tis his by drinking:
|
In spight of all their Acts, and Laws,
|
Hee'l carry them down below
|
Then Hell, and City, like to like,
|
Cuckolds all-a-row.
|
I doubt, your Lambert is undone,
|
and now he may goe Preach;
|
For 'ts the English all a-moade,
|
For every Rogue to Teach:
|
Hee'l Nose it bravely in a Tub,
|
to let the City know
|
That they'l be Damn'd, unless they Dip,
|
Cuckolds all a-Row.
|
But where's your mighty Fleetwood now
|
his Honour's worn to the Stump;
|
Hee'l serve Ambassador to Hell,
|
to make way for the Rump.
|
And thus King-killers one by one
|
will to the Devill go,
|
Upon the City Asses backs, like
|
Cuckolds all-a-row.
|
And now Cow-hearts, look to your Shops,
|
the Red-coats will you fright,
|
And Plunder you, because they know
|
your Horns hang in your light:
|
No matter, for You have been the cause
|
of all the Kingdoms Wo,
|
And do deserve still to be call'd
|
Cuckolds all-a-row.
|
But if that you would honest grow,
|
and doe a glorious thing;
|
Which is, to Rowse and take your Armes
|
and Fight for Charles your KING:
|
Which Act your Credits will regain,
|
and all the World shall know
|
That you no more shall, then be cal'd
|
Cuckolds all-a-Row.
