To a New Playhouse Tune.
I. ALL you that can find Ears, and you that have None, (But not to mistake me, I mean that have One) Come listen awhile, and Ile tell you a Tale Which with Juglers Knot, you shall have by Retail; And therefore I hope it will not give Offence, Since theyre all to be over an Hundred Years hence. II. With drooping Whitefryers we then shall begin, Where Wit now does multiply as does their Sin; For tis so increasd that We never can fail Of a Dozen of Wits, for a Dozn of Ale. By the Votes it is plain that they must pack thence, And that long before Half an hundred Years hence. III. To Lewis le Grand we now find evry Widgeon From cheating all Mankind, to fly for Religion; All Martyrs theyll bellow, Alsatias their own, And they will get them both when James gets a Crown; All which, if we live, we shall see to commence But a few days before an Hundred Years hence. IV. But I doubt long before theyll all be forgotten, And James with his Beggarly Crew will lie rotten; And such Popish Kittens we vow to restore, When Poets and Jacobites nere shall be Poor; All this and much more will appear to our Sense, If ever it comes tis an Hundred Years hence. V. Our Taxes are great, but they may save our Throats, Or from Lewis who makes em pay for their Coats, Or damnable Rome that we may not adore, Who piously forces Excise for a Whore; Our Money well give for our Noble Defence, That we may be Happy an Hundred Years hence. VI. We Children will get then, and pay for their Heads, That they may not be damnd for handling of Beads; Well turn up our Doxies, and Soldiers procure, That the Bald-pated Tribe we may not endure;
Well deal with our Damsels, that we may from thence Have Broods that will stand tot an Hundred Years hence. VII. We this will perform, and now pay for the Work To keep out the Devil, the Pope, and the Turk, That Jemmy the Elder may never reign more, Or Jemmy the Younger may never come ore; All which to prevent, our Pounds, Shillings and Pence, Shall willingly fly till an Hundred Years hence. VIII. But --- Room for Cuckolds without any Jest-O, Advance Pater Patriae with Manifesto, Which had better instead of Count Dadas Tarse, Have servd to wipe Sacred Modenas Arse, From whence daily issues such choice Frankincense, As may give an Hogo an Hundred Years hence. IX. Our Halls stufft with Monks, and our Towns lose their Charters, And Rome once again shall set up her Head Quarters; In Smithfield once more at the Stake we shall burn, And Berwick and Peters shall make a Return, Dragoond we shall be out of Cash and our Sence, By th Bastards beyond Sea, an Hundred Years hence. X. We to Faux and th glorious Raviliac shall pray, And England be blessd with a Saint for each day, When Sir John and Sir Williams great Fame amount In Red Letters by the Gregorian Account; When St. Pauls shall be changd to St. Peters Immense, No doubt this will happen an Hundred Years hence. XI. With a Glass of rich Burdeux, or a Cup of Nantz, We shortly from thence will supply all our Wants; All this I predict without help of a Star, By a General Peace, or a General War: This WILLIAM secures us in the Present Tense, That we maynt be Bug-beard an Hundred Years hence.
