(1) REbellion hath broken up House, and hath left me old Lumber to sell; Come hither and take your choice, Ile promise to use you well. Will you buy the old Speakers Chair, which was warm, and easie to sit-in, And often-times hath been made clean, when as it was fouler then fitting, Says old Symon the King, Says old Symon the King, With his thread-bare Cloaths, and his mamsey Nose, Sing hey ding ding, a ding ding. (2) Will you buy any Bacon-flitches? theyr the fattest that ever were spent; Theyr the sides of the Old Committees, fed up with th Long Parliament. Heres a pair of Bellows and Tongs, and for a small matter Ile sell em; Theyr made of the Presbiters Lungs, to blow up the Coals of Rebellion, Says old Symon the King, etc. (3) [I] had thought to have given them once to some Black-Smith for his Forge; But, now I have considerd ont, theyr Consecrated to th Church; For ile give them to some Choir, to make the Organs to rore, And the little Pipes squeek higher then ever they did before, Says old Symon the King, etc. (4) Heres a couple of Stools for sale, the one square, and tother is round; Betwixt them both the Tail of the RUMP fell unto the Ground. Will you buy the States Council-Table, which was made of the good Wain-Scot; The frame was a tottering Bable to uphold th Independent Plot? Says old Symon the King, etc. (5) Heres the Beesom of Reformation, which should have made clean the Floor; But it swept the Wealth out of th Nation, and left us Dirt good store. Will you buy the States Spinning-wheel, which spun for the Ropers Trade? But better it had stood still, for now it has spun a fair Thread, Saies old Symon the King, etc.
(6) Heres a very good Clyster-Pipe, which was made of a Butchers stump; And oft-times it hath been usd to cure the Colds of the RUMP. Heres a lump of Pilgrim Salve, which once was a Justice of Peace, Who Nol and the Devil did serve; but now it is come to This, Saies old Symon the King, etc. (7) Heres a Roll of States Tobacco, if any Good Fellow will take it: Its neither Virginia nor Spanish, but ile tell you how they do make it; Tis Covenant mixt with Engagement, with an Abjuration-Oath; And many of them that did take it complain it is foul in the Mouth, Saies old Symon the King, etc. (8) Yet the Ashes may happily serve to cure the Scab of the Nation, When they have an Itch to serve a Rebellion by Innovation, A Lanthorn here is to be bought, the like was scarce ere begotten: For many a Plotr has found out, before they ever were thought-on, Saies old Symon the King, etc. (9) Will you buy the Rumps great Saddle, which once did carry the Nation? And heres the Bitt and the Bridle, and Curb of Dissimulation. Heres the Breeches of the Rump, with a fair dissembling Cloak, And a Presbiterian Jump, with an Independent smock, Saies old Symon the King, etc. (10) Heres Olivers Brewing Vessels, and heres his Dray and his Slings: Heres Hewsons Aul and his Bristles, with divers other odd things. And what doth the price belong to all these matters before ye? Ile sell them all for an Old song, and so I do end my story, Saies old Symon the King, Saies old Symon the King, With his thread-bare Cloaths, and his mamsey Nose, Sing hey ding, ding, a ding ding.
