GOod People all, both Great and Small, Come listen to my Story; There was a Fray, the other Day, Between a Whigg, and Tory. For all their Distance, now they met, Joynd in the Stocks together; You may be sure, twas for no good, That both of them came thither. The Torys Name was Lashing Tom; The Whigg was called Toney; And yet the Urchin, most Men say, Wants neither Wit nor Money. At first they surly were, and grim, And stiff as as any Quaker; They lookt much like in Hangings old, The Panther, and the Baker. A while they only hufft and pufft At one another, growling: At last the Curs did spend their Mouths, And thus they fell a Howling. Tom. (Quoth Tom) to me, thy Company Is now as sweet as Honey: Tis the first Day, I ere could say, To me thourt welcome Toney. Since in this Wooden-Cage we meet, Lets Con our Notes together: And prithee Toney tell me how The Devil has brought thee hither. Toney. (quoth Toney) spare thy Complement, Thou soon shalt be Confounded: Has thou forgot, thou vapouring Sot, By whom thou wert Impounded. We tryd a Better, and a Worse, I fairly thee did Master: I am not Conquerd, but Betrayd By Rogues, to this Disaster. Tom. Those Rogues (quo Tom) thy Creatures were, Unjust is thy Complaining;
Since to this Pen, thourt hunted in By Whelps of thy own Training. Thy Wickedness, turnd thee to Beast, And hither thee did hurry: And in this Guise, Acteon-wise, Thy Hell-Hounds thee shall worry. Toney. Thou wants not Wickedness, but Wit, To turn it to thy Profit: Who but a Sot, would hatch a Plot, And then make nothing of it? Twas I was fain to Rear thy Barn, And bring it to Perfection: I made the Frighted Nation sue To me, for my Protection. Tom. I know (quoth Tom) thou lovst of old, The Name of a Protector: But now with all thy Might and Slight, Thou art a Baffld Hector. With all thy Treats, and all thy Cheats, Still thy Designe does faulter: Thoust got (poor Wretch) some Fees for Ketch, And for thy self a Halter. Toney. Name not (quoth Toney) that paw thing, Till thou thy Heels Recover: For who can tell of Thee or Me, Who first will be Turnd over? Tom look to it, when Commons Sit, Left then I take thee Napping: I nothing fear, who am so near My Honest Friends of Wapping. What more they said, or what they did, Deserves not to be reckond: Then come away; but first lets pray, God bless King Charles the Second.
