THough S--- is cleared by The Cunning Ignoramus Sway: He guilty stands of Treachery That does not Heavens decrees obey, Kings are Elected, Never rejected, But by the Heavenly powrs above; Then pray you why Should little An------ Then have a hand in a Kings remove. II. He is so mad, I wonder much, Thats going to his Grave on Crutch, That Knows the Laws, some Princes draws Amongst the Whiggs, to The Good Old Cause. His praises aloud Are resounded by the Croud, Makes the little Pigmy strut and stare; Then pray you why May not little An------ Once more wear his Loyalty thred bare. III. His Policy must greater be, Ere he attains his Zealous ends; Although he wheadles the City Beagles, And such poor Mechanick Friends, They will turn as fast Honest men at the last
As they before turnd fools and Knaves; Then pray you why May not little An--- Once more his Turn-coat honor save. IV. Must we be led in Misery By the blind that can but will not see; Their frantick brains brought into th wain Those Royal Stars of Charlemain; And if not watcht, Or by Ty--- Catcht, Will strive to do it once again; Then pray you why May not little An--- Be the bearer up of that fine Train. V. Might they have their wills, what would they make Of this small gruntling groaning Ape, A God they cannot, a King they shall not: An Idol their zealous concerns may not, No, but they would, If that they could Set up him a second Cromwell soon; Then pray you why May not little An--- For once be made the man i th Moon. VI.
VI. This changeing Imp is now become Our Loyal Cities only grace, The Devil nere made sike another Loon To aim before at a Royal place, Nothing but Coo--- Must be their Hooper, On Ashley not on Heaven, they call; Then pray you why May not little An--- Once in a Chair of State Look Tall. VII. But if the Law, as once before, Was of the Tyrant Sword in Awe: Little Jack a Dandy that never yet swore, For safety would to a Monarch draw, He would leave the City, Yes, and Committee; To the King he would for mercy haste; Then pray you why Should little An--- Any more idle time in his Cabals waste. VIII. To Jealousie now more are given Than Antient Letchers, wise and grave: This cunning Fox, though he be Poxt, His policy will honor save. He scorns for to rail, Though a Clap sieze his Tail At any thing of woman Kind; Then pray you why May not little An--- With Whor--- be both lame and blind. IX. But if he said the Whore was honest That betrayd him in his Youth, The zealous all, both great and small, Woud all believe it for a truth, Bear him to Wallbrook Cross, And Set him on the Horse, Dismount the Image of your King; Then pray you why May not little An--- Look as like as he can to sike a Thing.
X. Then on your Knees, most reverently, Fall down and worship the Molten Calf: Or take him and han------ him decently For thats the better way by half, Then all may see Curst Policy be Brought to a right deserved end; Then pray you why May not little An--- Shake hands at T------hill with his friends XI. Some old men doubtless there are Of women mad past all compare: This Lustful Ram, we need not doubt, Although he is pincht with the Gout, Will sit in State, Frigg into debate The factious people all he can; Then pray you why May not little An--- Or Wheadled M------ lead the Van. XII. No place within the Earthly Ball, Besides this Kingdom giveth birth To men so vile, as would beguile Their Country, lay their Kings in Earth Before they are grown, Scarce Set upon a Throne, They are degraded and cast down; Then pray you why May not little An--- Be seen like a Mouse in an Ermin Gown. XIII. When they are well they cannot keep so, All the Universe can tell, Their zealous Piety makes them weep so, They are not afraid to rule in Hell: Give them the Scepter, Drunk with a Lector, Tey sell both Kings and Souls for Gold; Then pray you why May not little An--- With a Second Monarch now make bold.
