RIng Bells, and let Bonefires out-blaze the Sun, Let Ecchoes contribute their voice, For now a happy settlements begun, To shew how we do all rejoyce: If we by this Can have the bliss To re-injoy a Unity, Well do no more As heretofore, But will in mutual love increase, If we can once again have peace. How joyful shall we be. The King shall his Prerogatives enjoy, The State their Priviledge shall have, He will not theirs, nor will they his annoy, But both each others strive to save: The people shall Turn loyal all
And strive t obey his Majesty, And Truth and Peace Shall both increase, Theyl be obedient to the Laws And hate that subtle name of Cause. Then joyful shall we be. The Parliament will rise no more in arms, To fight against their lawful King, Nor be deluded by their factious charms That all the Realm to treason bring: Theyl learn to vote No more by rote Nor pass their Bills ex tempore, But study peace And trades increase, Since now we finde it is not good To write the Kingdom peace in blood, But joyful shall we be.

THe Coblers shall not edifie their Tubs, Nor in Divinity set stitches, Wel not b instructed by Mechanick scrubs, Women shant preach with men for breeches: The prickeard Tribe That wont subscribe Unto our Churches Hierarchy, Must England leave, And to Geneve, New England, or to Amsterdam, With all whom Church and State cant tame. Then joyful shall we be. Wel toil no more to maintain Patentees That feed upon poor peoples trade, Star Chamber shant vex guiltless men for fees, Nor Law to Vice for bribes be Bawd: The Bishops each Will learn to preach, Rich Clergy will not silent be, And Judges all Impartial, When Laws alike to all degrees, No sleeping Judges gape for fees. How joyful shall we be. Wel fight ng more for Jealousies, and Fears, Nor spend our blood, we know not why; The Roundheads shall shake hands with Cavaliers, And both for King and Countrey die: The Sword shall not Maintain a Plot For fear of Plots which nere shall be, Nor will we still Each other kill, To fight for those that are as far From Peace, as they will be from War. But joyful shall we be. The broken Cits no more shall lick their Chops, Nor Wealth recruit with Countreys store, But lay down Arms, and keep within their Shops, And cry what lack you, as before: Theyl turn agen Blew aprond men,
And leave their titles of degree, Nor will they prate Gainst Church and State, But change their Feathers, Flags, and Dr[ums] For Items and for total Sums. How joyful shall we be. We will not Garrisons of Lubbers feed, To plunder, drink, and gather pay, While they lye gazing, and are both agreed To fetch our goods add us away; And though they swear, We will not care, Nor to such Skowndrels servile be; We will not stand With Cap in hand, Beseeching them to let alone The goods which justly are our own But joyful shall we be. Fanatick Troopers must go home agen, And humbly walk a foot to Plow, Nor domineer thus over honest men, But work to get their livings now: Or if their minde Be not inclind To leave their former knavery, A halter shall Dispach them all, And then the Gallows shall be made The highst preferment of their trade. A joyful sight to see. Let Roundheads shake their circumcized [ears,] Wel ride about as well as they, Nor will we stand in fear of Cavaliers That sleep all night, and drink all day[;] When we can finde Both sides enclind To change their War for Unity; O t will be brave, If we can have The Freedom granted by our Charter, And scape from plunder, pay, and quart[er;] How joyful shall we be.
