WHet all your Wits, and Antidote your Eyes, Before you hazard here to play this Prize; Or gaze (like Eagles) on a Show so rare, No time brought forth an Object yet so fair; Lo! heres the Bug-Bear-Rampant of the PLOT, Which Whig on Tory (in a Shamm) Begot; Here A-la-mode the Guardian of the Land In a New-fashiond Pulpit now doth stand; The Tubs ore-whelmd, and all the Hoops are flung, And Deput-Jack he peeps out through the Bung. Barcochabs here, the Star of Englands Sky, Decipherd now The Son of PERJURY; Th AEgyptan-Cow, the Oaten-blasted Blade, Which hath (these several Years) eat up our Trade; The States Anatomist, the Church Confusion, Who Dreamd a Plot, and Swore it was a Vision; A Doctor who Degree did ner Commence, A Rhetoritian that spoke never Sence; Like Proteus he still changeth to the time, His Pulse and Temper suits with any Clime; His Births equivocal, by Generation Seditions By-Blow, Loyaltys privation; A Linsey-Woolsey Emprick of the State, That hugs the Church, and knocks it ore the Pate. He stands in state, and well becomes his station, Using a Truckling-Stool for Recreation: Now should he, in contempt of Peters Chair, Leap from the Pillory to the Three-legd Mare, And with Empedocles desire to be But Canonizd an Oaten-Deity, He would spring up (but that he is a Sot) A Mandrake, to conceive another PLOT.
His Crime no Man can ballance with a Curse, For still the Hydra doth deserve a worse: Then let him live a Minotaur of Men, Like Hirco-Cervus Couchant in his Den; The Monument of Mischief, and of Sin, To spread no farther than the Sooterkin Of old Sedition, set before our Eye, As Buoy and Beacon unto Loyalty; Yet at the Wheels of Fortune let him Dance A Jigg of Pennance that can make him Prance; Resenting all his Errors (though in vain) With fruitless wishes calling Time again; His Face is Brass, his Breech no Rod will feel, And who knows but his Back is made of Steel; His Soul is proof, perhaps his Body may Be made of Mettle harder than the Clay; Then put him to the touch, make Titus rore, The Chase is turnd, now hes Son of a W--- Then conjure him with Eggs and Kennel-Dirt, And Contradictions that his Mouth did squirt; To tell his Name, wel Christian him once yet, And mold and Agnoun which can with him fit; He is no Doctor, for by horrid Lies He cures Sedition, only Tinker-wise. He is no Papist, for he ner had Merit, Nor yet a Quaker, for he hath no Spirit. He is no Protestant, for want of Grace, To keep him from a falsifying face. He is no Turk, for always (like a Swine) He lovd to wallow in a Tub of Wine. No name can fitt him, therefore let him bee The grumbling Ghost of Old Presbitery.
