WHen England half Ruin'd, had cause to be sad, The Pope's bloody Bulls they began to run mad, Because we had given them Pasture a while, They ran about ranging all over the Isle; These merciless Beasts, their rage for to feast, They gor'd and had like to have Murder'd our Test: But just in the intrim there came in a Friend, Who did the poor Test from their Fury defend. These Bulls they were kept by that Bear in the Tower, And chiefly were Nourish'd by Dispensing Power: But sometimes to feast their devouring Jaws, Their Keeper would give them some scraps of the Laws;
These Bulls have been found in other Mens Ground, But now we have put them in Packington's Pound; O never was Bulls so baited about, For certain, as these will be, e're they come out; Thus in our Nation a great many Fools, Endeavour'd to Fatten his Holiness Bulls; The Judges almost out of every Cause, Allow'd them a Pension of Penal Laws; These Bulls had such power, they'd like to devour Our Church and our Laws, but they now are brought lower Was ever such Impudent Bulls ever known, To toss Sacred Majesty out of the Throne.
Their Keeper who was no less Man than a Lord, Were by these Mad Bulls most notoriously Gor'd: They had on they Heads such a Sampson-like power, The cast him at one clever Toss in the Tower; And some they are jealous that he and his Fellows, Will be tost from the Tower, to a Scaffold or Gallows: O what a sad sight would it be for to see So many blest Martyrs to swing on a Tree. We've done with the Keeper, and now for the Driver, Who valued Religion no more than a Stiver: These Bulls being Wanton, and at no Command, They tost their poor Driver quite out of the Land; This is a sad matter to loose Ob---------r, Who has a strange Name, but is stranger by Nature: 'Twould be a sad thing, should he dance the long Jigg, For making Division 'twixt Tory and Whigg. These Bulls were so Wanton and Masterless grown, They broke into Pastures that lay nigh the Throne; They Farted themselves, and they ranged about, And undid the Owner before they come out: He was forc'd out of hand, to leave all his Land, Such damn'd Popish Bulls deserve all to be Hang'd; More Mischief they did which must not be exprest, I'le leave you alone to imagine the rest. But now these sad Beasts for the Mischief they'd done, Will be to the Slaughter brought every one; And if that they were but well order'd and drest, 'Twould make Pope and Devil a delicate Feast; Their Bull nor their Bears, shall breed no more fears, Nor set us together again by the Ears, We'll out of our Land quickly drive out such Beasts, As popular Rogues, and disquieted Priests. You that are minded to purchase a Hide, Pray lay by your Coin while the Bulls they are try'd, For then at the Gallows you'll see such a heap, And excellent Penniworths sold very Cheap: Stay but while Sessions, you'll hear such Confessions, As Subtle as e're was the Old Declarations; But we shall have now a much Honester State, And be no more Bull'd at so simple a rate.
