COME buy my New Ballad, I havet in my Wallet, Tho twill not, I fear, please every Palate: Then mark what ensuth, For I swear by my Youth, That every Line in my Ballad is Truth: A Ballad of Wit, a brave Ballad of Worth, Tis newly Printed and newly come Forth. Twas made of a Cloak that fell out with the Gown, That crampd all the Kingdom and crippld the Crown. Ill tell you in Brief A Story of Grief That happend when Cloak was Commander in Chief: It tore Common-Prayrs, Imprisond Lord Mayors, In one Day it voted down Prelates and Playrs, It made People perjurd in Point of Obedience, And the Covnant did cut off the Oath of Allegiance. Then let us endeavour to pull the Cloak down, That crampd, etc. It was a Black Cloak, In good Time be it spoke It killd many Thousands, but never struck Stroke; With Hatchet and Rope, The forlorn Hope, It joind with the Devil to pull down the Pope; It set all the Sects in the City to Work, And rather than fail twould have brought in the Turk. Then let us Endeavour, etc. It Seizd on the Towr Guns, Those fierce Demi-gorgons, It set up the Bag-pipes, but pulld down the Organs, The Pulpits did Smoak, Our church it did Choak, And all our Religion was turned to a Cloak; It brought in lay Elders could not Write or Read: It set publick Faith up, but pulld down the Creed; Then let us endeavour, etc. This Pious Impostor Such Fury did Foster, It left us no Penny nor no Pater Noster; It threw to the Ground Ten Commandments down And set up twice Twenty Times Ten of its own:It routed the King and Villains elected To plunder all those whom they thought Disaffected Then let us Endeavour, etc
To blind Peoples Eyes This Cloak was so Wise, It took off Ship Money, but set up Excise: Men brought in their Plate For Reasons of State And gave it to Tom Trumpete and his Mate: In Pamphlets it wrote many specious Epistles To Couzen poor Wenches of Bodkins and Whistles. Then let us Endeavour, etc. In Pulpits it moved, And was much Approved For Crying out, Fight the [Lord]s Battles beloved; It Bobtaild the Gown, Pulld Prelacy down, It trode on the Mitre to reach at the Crown; And into the Field it an Army did bring To aim at the Council but shoot at the King. Then let us Endeavour, etc. It raised up States Whose Politick Pates Do now keep their Quarters on our City Gates; To Father and Mother To Sister and Brother It gave a Commission to kill one another: It took up Mens Horses at very low Rates And Plunderd our Goods to se[c]ure our Estates Then let us Endeavour, etc. This Cloak did proceed To a Damnable Deed, It made the best Mirrour of Majesty Bleed: Tho Cloak did not dot It set it on Foot By rallying and calling his Jou[r]ney Men tot: For never had come such a bl[o]ody Disaster If Cloak had not first drawn a Sword at his Master. Then let us Endeavour, etc. Tho some of em went hence By sorrowful Sentence, This lofty long Cloak is not movd to Repentance; But he and his Men, Twenty Thousand times Ten, Are Ploting to do their Tricks over again: But let this proud Cloak to Authority stoop, Or Catch will provide him a Button and Loop, For well ever endeavour, etc.
