5 A thousand Rogues, and Cheaters, In Cornhill you'd hear them call, The Tories, and the Tubmeeters, That roosted nere Leaden Hall, Oh how Cheapside, too did bawl, At those in the Polterie, For shame, leave Acting your Droll, And agree ye rich Cuckolds, agree. 6 To the sennate, then with vigour, The Old soon after adress'd, Tho halfe were chows'd by the Tiger, That wondrous pollitique Beast, The whilst the unfortunate rest, In course outvoted must be, Was ever known such a Jest, Come agree ye rich Cuckolds, agree. 7 Tho balk'd by this digression, Yet moving another spring, They made a mends the next Session, And clearly carried the thing, To Court, their Case, then they bring, And reverence made on the knee, But the answer gott from the _ K Was agree ye rich Cuckolds agree. 8 Tho kept a while at Distance, Yet least they should totally droop, They gott a Legall Existence, And then were straight cock a hoop, But When the new ones did stoop, The t'other as huffing, would be, For now agen they gott up, Come agree, stubborn Cuckolds, agree.
9 The New with false sham storys, Of which each Noddle was full, Equipt S:W:N: As Enboy to the Mogoll, And he did the Collony foole, With tidings that never will be, Were e're stockjobbers, soe dull, Come agree ye rich Cuckolds, agree, 10 This Old, that knew this Passage, And what Comission, he bore, A Jolly Lad, with A Message, To Contradict it sent ore, Another Packett, he wore, Five hundred Pounds, was his fee, It should have been as much more, Come agree, to that, Mizers, agree. 11 Ye Jarring Powers that rule us, What foolish doings are here, Whilst these two factions fool us, No honest man can apear, No Mayor be Chose for the yeare, But that some trick in't will be, Nor Knight can stand for the shire, Come agree ye rich Cuckolds, agree, 12 What hopes to have free Senates, Whilst you are playing this Game, And bribe the Boors, and Tennants, Through spite each other to tame, The Church, too faith has a Maime, Whilst Whiggs, and high Tories, their be, Reform, Reform, then for shame, And agree, ye rich Cuckolds, agree,
