Farwell old Parliament of, seaven yeares standing Now make your testament: ther's no disbanding That very Rebell-route your first upholders, Are come to pull you out by head and shoulders. Come ler us sing ding dong, till we shake the steeple, This is a fine new song, Come along good people, Come helpe to ring their knell, they ne'ere refuse you, You needs must use 'em well; that so did use you. Now all your virtual Kings must be desposed, Their tricks and iugling things are all disclosed, Their vowes, and their results, now cannot save 'em, And for their closse consults, the Devill will have them. King CHARLES is loose at last, the Scots have sold him, And when you had him fast, you could not hold him, He is now on his way, hee'l no more sue t'yee Fairfax hath playd faire play, and done his duty. Your proud Presbytery Cannot protect you Your wise directory Cannot direct you, Wee shall have Bishops store, with Copes and Miters Buffe coats shall preach no more, nor Priests be fighters. Your Wednesdayes and your wayes of humiliation. Your strange thanksgiving dayes, of prophanation Now must be layd aside, Christmas is lost else Old Easter Whitsontide, and the Apostles, Your propositions and Qualifications Your Protestations and your abjurations. Your Covenant and your Oath, of Nonadherence, Will make the Houses both to flee for feare hence. Now down with Goldsmiths Hall that Golden Idol That dreadfull Tribunall that did decide all. Let's have our wives again, now you have fleec'd 'em. They'l serve delinquent men, though you have sqeezd 'em Rise up you Phelistins leave of your humming Repent you of your sinns King Charles is Coming. Fairfax and Cromwell too are at Saint Albone They'l knock down more of you, then Sampsons jaw-bon Mr.
