UPon a Night of misty Vapours, A Corpse transported was with Tapors; Which coming from, I heard one cry, Will you by the Mens Reply I having read it straight did feel, To swallow had I too hard a Pil: For Women I did speak a word, But it's made me put up my sword. Let none think I betray my Cause, I hope I'll be excus'd by Laws; Since that I found no grain of Reason For Womens Pride (this is not Treason) And tho against Men I did flyt, Indeed two Blacks won't make a White. Now Women my Advice is this, Lay by your Hoods that cocked is, None in your Cause will good betide Alas I'm beaten Back and Side. Tho of me this Man's spoken evil, Even tho he's called me a Devil; I him forgive in all Mens sight, Seing that he was in the Right; For's pains deserves a Lawrel Crown, Since it was pride that he cry'd down. However I'de have you search for him, I'm sory I gave such bad Marks of him; And when you find him, fill his Loof, If that will tend to your behoof, See that you rise not in a passion, For that with you is no new fashion; But beg of him to hold his peace, Lest to you he bring more disgrace; Yet I fear he'll disdain your Treasure, Till ye leave off this prideful pleasure. Since that will fail, I give consent That ye do Bill the Parliament, Their Wisdom ne'er will Pride allow, Your Bill will be refus'd I trow. What will you then do in this Case, For Cockups I can find no place? O I remember I've seen them here, On them whom't did become to wear, The Whores scourg'd in the Town were those The foremost bears the high Cocko's Let Whores take them away for Stores, Which when they bring to Forraign shores I'll lay my Life they'll fright the Mores. So Sarah Say-well takes Good-night, And wishes Pride be put to flight.
