(1) WHen England half Ruin'd had cause to be sad, the Pop's bloody Bulls they began to run mad, Because we had given them pasture a while, They ran about raning all over the Isle; These merciless Beasts their rage for to feast, They gored and had like to have Murdr'd our Test: But just in the intrim there came in a Friend, Who did the poor Test from their Fury defend. (2) These Bulls they were kept by that Bear in the Tower, And cheifly were Nourish'd by dispensing Power: But sometimes to feast their devouring Jaws, Their Keeper would give them some scraps of the Laws; These Bulls have been found in other Mens ground, But now we have put them in Packintons Pound; O never was Bulls so baited about, For certain as these will be e're they come out. (3) Thus in our Nation a great many Fools, Endeavour'd to Fatten his Holiness Bulls, The Judges all most out of every cause, Allow'd them a Pension of Penal Laws; These Bulls had such power, they'd like to devour, Our Church and our Laws, but they now are brought lower: Was ever such Impudent Bulls ever known, To toss Sacred Majesty out of the Throne. (4) Their Keeper who was no less Man than a Lord, Where by these Mad Bulls most notoriously Gor'd: They had on their Heads such a Sampson like power, They cast him at one clever Toss in the Tower; And some they are Jealous that he and his Fellows, Will be tost from the Tower, to a Scaffold or Gallows, O what a sad sight would it be for to see, So many blest Martyrs to swing on a Tree.
(5) We've done with the Keeper, & now for the Driver Who vallued Religion no more than a Stiver: These Bulls being Wanton and at no command, They tost their poor Driver quite out of the Land; This is a sad matter to loose Observator, Who has a strange Name, but is stranger by Nature: Twould be a sad thing should he dance the long Jigg, For making devision twixt Tory and Whigg. (6) These Bulls were so wanton and masterless grown, They broke into pastures that lay nigh the Throne; They Fatted themselves, and there ranged about, And undid the Owner before they come out: He was forc'd out of hand, to leave all his Land, Such Dam'd Popish Bulls diserve all to be hang'd, More Mischief they did which must not be exprest, I'le leave you alone to Imagine the rest. (7) But now these sad beasts for the mischief they'd done, Will be to the Slaughter brought every one; And if that they were but well order'd and drest, Twould make Pope and Devil a delicate feast: Their Bull nor their Bears, shall bread no more fears, Nor set us together again by the Ears, We'le out of our Land quickly drive out such Beasts, As popular Rogues and disquited Priests. (8) You that are minded to purchase a Hide, Pray lay by your Coin while the Bulls they are try'd, For then at the Gallows you'll see such a heap, And excellent Penny-worths sold very Cheap: Stay but while Sessions, you'le hear such Confessions, As Subtle as e're was the old Declarations; But we shall have now a much honester State, And be no more Bull'd at so simple a rate.
