BUMM-FODER
OR,
WASTE-PAPER
Proper to wipe the Nation's RUMP with, or your Own.
|
FRee quarter in the North is grown so scarce,
|
That Lambert with all his men of Mars
|
Have submitted to kiss the Parliaments Arse,
|
Which nobody can deny.
|
If this should prove true, (as we do suppose)
|
Tis such a wipe as the RUMP and all's Foes
|
Could never give to old Olivers nose:
|
Which, etc.
|
Theres a Proverb come to my mind not unfit,
|
When the head shal see the RUMP all be-shit,
|
Sure this must prove a most lucky hit:
|
Which etc.
|
Theres another Proverb which every Noddy
|
Wil jeer the RUMP with, and cry Hoddy Doddy,
|
Here's a Parliament all Arse and no Body.
|
Which etc.
|
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 twi[rl'd,]
|
And through much sad confusions h[url'd,]
|
And now we are got into the arse of the worl[d:]
|
Which etc[.]
|
But 'tis not all this our cou[rage wi]l quail,
|
Or make the brave Seamen [to the] RUMP strike sa[il,]
|
If we can have no head, w[e wil h]ave no Tail:
|
Which etc.
|
Then let a Free-Parliament [b]e turnd trump,
|
And nere think any longer [the Nation] to mum[p]:
|
With your pocky, perjur'd, [damnd,] old R[ump:]
|
Which etc.
|
But what doth Rebel Ru[mp make here]
|
When their proper place (a[s Will. Pryn] doth swear)
|
Is at the Devils arse in Derby[shire:]
|
Which etc.
|
Then thither let us send them a tilt,
|
For if they stay longer, they wil us be[g]uilt
|
With a Government that is loose in th[e Hi]lt:
|
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.
|
Tis 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 grease a fat Sow in the britch:
|
Which, etc.
|
Thats a thing that would please the Butchers and Cooks,
|
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;
|
B[ut] men say it was without head or tail,
|
Which, etc.
|
Ju[st suc]h is the Government wee live under,
|
Of [a Pa]rliament thrice cut in sunder;
|
An[d this hath] made us the worlds wonder,
|
Which, etc.
|
O[ld Noll] when we talk[t] of Magna Charta,
|
D[id prop]hecy well [we should] all smart-a,
|
[And now] we[e] have found his RUMPS Magna Fart-a,
|
Which, etc:
|
But I can't think Monck (though a Souldier and sloven)
|
To be kin to the Fiend, whose feet are cloven,
|
Nor will creep i'th Rumps Arse, to bake in their Oven,
|
Which, etc.
|
[T]hen 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.
