I. Prince. O Poland Monster of our Isle, Corruption of our Age; Which on my Infant Hours didst smile, thou inflam'd the Rage Of my Ambitious Soul, to sore its defiled Sphear; And, Icarus-like, I now must low'r, Transform'd into Despair. II. Now all my Trophies of Success, Are in Oblivion drown'd; And none for Me dare now Address, Where I hop't to be Crown'd. I by thy false blind Plots am sham'd, Fool'd from a Glorious Sway, Snatch't from a Father's Arms, and Damn'd, Like all that Disobey. III. Thou call'd my nearest Friends at Court, Soft, easie, absurd Tools; That Kings were but for States-Men's Sport, The Councel Knaves and Fools. But I, poor I, find now too late, Your Polish Grace can lye; None prov'd more weak at the Foyls of State, Than poor silly Tom, and I. VI. Now, that Imperial Crow, which thou For me so fit had made, Is Faln and broak, I know not how, And all our Wiles betray'd; Our full Caballs, and Wapping-Treats, Retrench't to Secret Holes: Treason the strength Our Greatness waits In these rough reared Walls. V. Poland K---g. Thou mighty Prince, by me Elect, I'th Land of Promise Sways; Thy timerous Soul is the Defect Of Our declining Days.
What brighter Prospect Canst propose, To Magnifie thy Name, Than Hearts, and Armes, and Power of Those, That Rules both Laws and Fame. VI. The Rustick Swains want not the Word, No Magazines, nor Horse; 'Zwounds Sixty Thousand by the Sword, Defies both Fate and Curse. They'l lay Three Kingdoms at Our Feet, In Blood and mangled Braines; Then the Traine-Bands, Cinque-Ports, and Fleet, At Our Command Remains. VII. Though Rouley, and His Brother Joynes, And Wheel's around the Park; Like two Yoak't Oxen, Tuggs and Twines, Our Designes i'th' Dark, And wisely weighes; Their Wits has wrought Our Potent Parties Fall; That Conquest must be dearer brought, Else Tony Hangs for all. VIII. We have reserv'd Machines in store, To raise more daring Flames, Then Mortals 'ere Conspir'd before; Or Damned Furies Frames. If 'ere a Parliament be call'd, Our Representives there Shall Scorn to be out box't, or bawl'd, In Country, Town, or Shire. IX. Then every Member of the Cause, Amidst the Armed Rude, Who shall deside the Pole with blows, And quash the Tory Crow'd. Then stick to Time, whilst Heads are hot, Our Force together brings; If this best PLOT, at last fail not, By Christ, we'le Both be Kings!
Printed for the Polonian King, in the Year 164800.
