APproach good people, here's (for pence a peece) A Show more strange then was the Golden-Fleece Bartholomew's at hand, yet all his Fare, Could never show an Object yet so Rare. Here standeth Cerberus the Pope's Controler, Pulling his Neck out of the Wooden Colar; Who hath more Tongues, and fitted all for Lies, Then hath Briarius Hands, or Argos Eyes. He Bark'd all Britain Blind, made England Dance, A Tragick-Comedy which did Enhance Rebellions Intrest, tho it was all in vain, Since Loyalty hath turn'd the Chase again. Here is the Bug-Bear-Rapant of the PLOT, Which Whigg on Tory (in a Shamm) Begot; Here Al-a-mode the Guardian of the Land In a New-fashion'd Pulpit now doth stand; The Tub's o're-whelm'd, and all the Hoops are flung, And Prick-Lug Jack he peeps out through the Bung. Barcochab's here, the Star of Englands Sky, Decypher'd now The Son of PERJURY; Th' AEgyptian Cow, the Oaten-blasted Blade; Which hath (these several years) eat up our Trade; The States Anatomist, the Church Confusion, Who Dream'd a Plot, and Swore it was a Vision; A Doctor who Degree did ne'r Commence, A Rhetoritian that spoke never Sence: Like Proteus he still changeth to the time, His Pulse and Temper suits with any Clime; His Birth's equivocal by Generation A Linsey-Woolley Emprick of the State, That hugs the Church, and knocks it o're the Pate. He stands in the state, and well becomes his station, Using a Truckling-Stool for Recreation: Now should he, in contempt of Peters Chair, Leap from the Pillory to the Three-leg'd Mare,
And with Empedocles desire to be But Canoniz'd an Oaten-Diety, He would spring up (but that he is a sot) A Mandrake, to conceive another PLOT. His Crime no Man can ballance with a Curse, For still the Hydra doth deserve a worse; Then let him live a Minotaur of Men, Like Hirco-Cervus Couchant in his Den; The Monument of Mischief, and of Sin, To spread no farther than the Sooterkin Of Old Sedition, set before our Eye, As Buoy and Beacon unto Loyalty; Yet at the Wheels of Fortune let him Dance A Jigg of Pennance that can make him Prance: Resenting all his Errors (though in vain) With fruitless wishes calling Time again; His Face is Brass, his Breech no Rod will feel, And who knows but his Back is made of Steel; His Soul is proof, perhaps his Body may Be made of Mettle harder then the Clay; Then put him to the touch, make Titus rore, The Chase is turn'd, now he's Son of a W---- Then Conjure him with Eggs and Kennel-Dirt, And Contradictions that his Mouth did squirt; To tell his Name, we'l Christian him once yet, And mold and Agnoun which can with him fit; He is no Doctor; for by horrid Lies, He cures Sedition only Tinker-wise. He is no Papist for he ne'r had Merit. To keep him from a falsifying face. He is no Turk, for always (like a Swine) He lov'd to wallow in a Tub of Wine. No Name can fit him, therefore let him be The grumbling Ghost of Old Presbitery:
