The Bedlams Speech. TOpsie tervie, hai down derry. You sober boyes lets now be merry, Here comes noble Georges Wife, Let's then bespeak her to the life. Most Noble Lady, now we see The World turns round as well as we; Our Chains are Ornaments, our Cells Are Palaces where Honour dwells, Whilst you adorn this place, we know No greater happinesse below, Than to behold the sweet delight Of him that will restore our right: Madam, to you it is we look As the best Scripture in our Book, Could we but learn to be so wise As love our Head as well as Eyes; Our University might be Happy in your felicity, Our Chains as uselesse as the large Contents of Lamberts no-discharge, Our Time not spent in picking straws, Our Holds, only most wholesome Laws, Our Bedlam true Phanatiques keep, Not such as dream when fast asleep. Let George know we are not so mad, But we can love an honest Lad. The Speech at Fishers-Folly. THrice welcome noble Lady to this place, Wife to a Person sprung of royall Race; Whose High-born Soul proclaimes him one of those Which claime an Intrest in the Milkie Rose, Upon whose Brow prudence and valour cry Mastries, and strive each other to out-vie: And what's his greatest praise, his Royalty Appears full fraught with ancient Loyalty. The rarest Jewels that the World imparts Are Royall Subjects crown'd with loyall Hearts. And such (sweet Lady) is your royall Spouse, Who cannot choose but mind his former Vowes, One that is verst in honest Politicks, And deeply hateth such Pedantick tricks
As Murder, Rapine, Perjury, which crimes Were in vile Cromwels and the Rumpers times Accounted Godliness, and in wrong Sence Stil'd Acts of Heavens Gracious Providence. But now (I hope) we shall be free'd from th' Spell And witching Charms o'th Devill and Machiavel, They must invent new Sleights, a cloak that's stronger, Religion will vayle vilany no longer; All men have now found their false knavery out, But noble George hath put them to the Rout: As Fabius wearyed Hanibal, he so Blasted their force, yet gave them nev'r a blow: Wonderfull Conqueror that could withstand, Nay foyle his Enemy without a hand! Never had England a more prosprous fate, Nor purchast freedome at a cheaper rate. Who absent, lo, we Pay all Honour due To her who is a Part of him; that's you, Ev'n you (fair Lady) who are ever blest In his Injoyment: Y'are a welcome Guest Unto our Board, whose presence makes us Jolly, Since you vouchsafe to come to Fishers-Folly, So called from the Founder, a Lack-wit Who built the House, but could not finish it: Our George a greater Work hath well begun, And scorns to leave it, till its throughly done: He gently does his businesse, and hath learn'd To move the Wheele, so that its not discern'd. And with a silent calmnesse doth asswage The Hot-spur spirits and the fiery rage Of fierce Phanatiques; who, like foolish Elves, By their mad zeal would have burnt up themselves. Thus hath he wisely stopt the mouths of those Builders of Babel, which did still oppose Th' repayring of our Sion; to whose ayd Wee'l all stand up untill the top-stone's layd. And after all confesse Great George to be the chief Restorer of our Liberty: And you thrice happy favourite of Fate Who have so wise, so great, so good a Mate.
If any other Speeches shall be printed pretended to be spoken before the Lady Monk at Fishers-Folly, they are false and disowned by W.Y. Printed 1660.
