A Hymne to be sung after Supper.

FRom all such as purses cut,
From a filthy dirtie slut,
From another Civill War,
From Creatures that Committees are,
From a base high-minded Clown,
Ftom driving Soveraignes from their own.
From men with Treason tainted,
From women which are painted,
From all far fetcht new fangles,
From him that ever wrangles,
From rotten cheese, and addle eggs,
From broken shins, and gouty leggs,
From Bugbears, and broken glasses,,
From Romes Pardons, Buls and Masses,
From the breath that blows behinde,
From a holy brothers long winde,
From private gain by publick losse,
From coming home by weeping-crosse,
From pulling down His Royall Grace,
And setting Peasants in his place:
From all these, I say agen,
Goodnesse deliver me. Amen.


FINIS.
