A Butchers Sons J ------ Capital, Poor Protestants for to enthrall, And England to enslave Sirs. Lose both our Laws and Lives we must, When to do Justice we intrust So known an Errant K ------ Sirs. Some hungry Priests he did once fell, With mighty stroaks, and them to Hell Sent presently away Sirs. Would you know why, the reasons plain, They had no English nor French Coin, To make a longer stay Sirs. The Pope to Purgatory sends, Who neither Money have nor Friends, In this he is not alone Sirs. For our J ------ to Mercys not enclind, Less Gold change Conscience and his minde; You are infallibly gone Sirs. His Father once exempted was Out of all Juries, why? Because He was a Man of Blood Sirs. And why the butcherly Son, forsooth, Should now be Jury and J ------ both, Cannot be understood Sirs. The good Old Man with Knife and Knocks, Made harmless Sheep and stubborn Ox, Stoop to him in his Fury. But the bribd Son, like greasy Aulf, Kneels down and Worships Golden Calf; And so does all the Jury. Better thou hadst been at thy Fathers Trade, An honest lively-hood to have made, In hampring Bulls with Collers: Than to thy Country prove unjust, First sell, and then betray thy trust, For so many hard Rixdollers. Priest and Physitian thou didst save, From Gallows, Fire and from the Grave, For which we cant endure thee. The one can nere absolve thy sins, And thother, though he now begins, Of Knavery nere can Cure thee. But lest we all should end his life, And with a keen-whet Chopping knife, In a Thousand peices cleave him: Let the Parliament first him undertake, Theyl make the Rascal stink at stake, And so like a K ------ lets leave him.
