GOod-morrow, Neighbour, now I vow, since we so happily do meet, If time and leasure will allow, I in a Glass will freely Treat; A pint or two I will bestow, If you will to the Tavern go. The other gave his free consent, and like two Friends they both appear, No longer did they Complement, but to the Tavern straight they steer; Where for the best of Wine they call, And then they to Discoursing fall.
Neighbour, I pray what News d'ye hear, as you the Town walk too and fro? Faith, Weather's cold, and Coals are dear, this is the truest News I know; Which makes the Poor man full of care, Who does that heavy burthen bear. What think ye of those Pamphleteers, who does disperse Seditious News, To fill the Wise Judicious Ears, can any thing such Crimes excuse? They seem like Persons fully bent, For to Affront the Government.
I think no Sober Man can like those Mischiefs which such seem to brew, They at the very Root do strike, of Laws and pure Religion too; As if they did delight to see Their Native Nations Misery: Strange Parables they do disperse, which freely pass from hand to hand, Which does forgotten things rehearse, to raise Commotions in the Land; To give fair opportunity, To our most potent Enemy. Men are compar'd to Hawks and Owls, nay Buzzards, Ravens, Rooks and Pies, By those mischievous single Souls, whose bussness is inventing Lies: For Parables and Paradox, I think they will deserve the Stocks. Or the severer Whipping-Post, for Cuffing high Affairs of State; Then see how these young Sparks will boast or how like Mag-pies they wou'd prate Hereafter of those weighty things, I mean the Governments of Kings.
The Learned Clergy, Grave and Wise, whom Europe never cou'd excell; Are now compar'd to Rooks and Pies, is this the way of doing well? Let Men now other measures take, Lest God at length should us forsake. Let Protestants walk hand in hand, in perfect Love, in Unity, And like united Brothers, stand against the common Enemy: And then proud France can never wrong This Land to which we do belong. Here's a full Bumper to the King, which does in Holland now remain, May Angels Guard, and Heaven bring him to the Royal Throne again; Where long he may the Scepter sway, And Loyal Souls his Laws obey.
FINIS.
