I. HAil to London fair Town, All hail to the Mayor & the Shrievs; Hail to the Scarlet Gown, Whose Sentence our Patience grieves: Justice and Law has prevail'd, With PATIENCE a Verdict to find, 'Gainst Patience, whose conscience fail'd; Oh Patience! why art so blind? II. PATIENCE, the joy of the Town, The comfort and hope of the Crowd; PATIENCE, who got Renown, By Perjury, Lies and Fraud: PATIENCE who ne'r had the Heart His Sovereigns Rights to maintain; But PATIENCE he had the Art To Swear and Forswear again. III. PATIENCE for Church and for State, And Patience for Meetings by stealth; PATIENCE, who wou'd translate The State to a Commonwealth: Whose Zeal has his Patience betray'd, To lie for the Saints in distress; Nay, tho' he's Forsworn, ('tis said,) He Swore he could do no less. IV. PATIENCE, whose Zeal did contrive The Monument Figures and Spire, That while there's a Papist alive We may not forget the Fire: The Pillory now is his Lot, He has rais'd such a flame with his Crew, That London is now too hot; Oh Patience! where art thou now?
V. PATIENCE, for Zeal to the Cause Did preach to the Captives in Goal; PATIENCE, with great applause, Gave large to an Hospital: To Use now his Money may lend, For Pomfret he never must send, Nor Warrants for Thompson send, For Titus o'th' Perjur'd Band. VI. PATIENCE, with Coller of Brass, To woful Disasters did fall; PATIENCE, with Copper Face, And a Conscience worse than all; To Holland, to Holland he goes, For plainly now it appears, That in spight of the Whiggish Cause, Their Shams will not save his Ears. VII. Some say, that the Saints may not Swear, But lie ev'n as much as they can; Yet PATIENCE, in spight on's Ears, Will Swear, and Forswear again: That PATIENCE shou'd be so far lost, Alas! who with Patience can hear? That a Saint shou'd be Knight o'th' Post, And an Elder without an Ear? VIII. Let ev'ry good Subject, with Me, (Who PATIENCE a Virtue do praise,) Lest he fall into PERJURY, With PATIENCE pray for Grace. But now I with PATIENCE have done, Left with Patience I keep such a Rout, That all astray with PATIENCE run, And weary your PATIENCE out.
Printed in the Year of the Saints Tribulation, 1683.
