ROOME FOR CUCKOLDS: OR MY LORD LAMBERTS ENTRANCE INTO SODOME and GOMORRAH. To the Tune, Is there no more Cuckolds but I.
|
YOu Cowd-hearted Citizens,
|
What is your Damn'd pretence
|
To keep yourselves within your Beds,
|
and not Fight for your Prince;
|
Whose Majesty should you behold.
|
your shames would breed your woe;
|
And then (like Fooles) you will cry out,
|
Cuckolds all-a-Row.
|
Ther's some of you have Bishops Lands,
|
do so much Clogg your Heels,
|
That now you cannot sturr, whereas
|
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,
|
Couckoldb 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 Devil goe,
|
Upon the CITY Asses backs, like
|
Cuckolds all-a-Row.
|
And now 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 Kingdomes Wo,
|
And do deserve still to be call'd
|
Cuckolds all-a-Row.
|
But if that you will Honest grow,
|
and doe a glorious thing;
|
Which is, to Rowse and take your ARMS
|
and Fight for CHARLS your KING:
|
Which ACT your Credits will regain,
|
and all the World shall know
|
That you no more shall, then be call'd
|
Cuckolds all-a-Row.
