I. HAil to the Prince of the Plot, All hail to the Knight of the Post; Poor Titus! 'tis now thy Lot To pay for all the Rost: From Wine and six Dishes a day Is sure a deplorable Fate, To fall to the Basket, and pray For an Alms through an Iron-grate. II. Titus who once was a Prince, Now Titus a Captive in Gaol; Titus who lov'd a Wench, Or anything wore a Tail; Titus who made a full pass At a following Bum in the Room, Is clapt up himself by th' A---, And cannot reverse his Doom. III. Did Titus swear true for the King, And is the good Doctor forsworn? Did Titus our Freedom bring, And Otes in Newgate mourn? Was Titus the Light of the Town, The Saviour and Guardian proclaim'd, And now the poor Doctor thrown To a Dungeon, in Darkness damn'd? IV. But now, to declare the cause, I'll tell you as brief as I can, The Doctor can't in the close Prove Titus an honest Man: Can Titus be just to the King, From Treason and Treachery free, When the Doctor hangs in a String, For Plotting and Perjury?
V. For Damage the Doctor has done, Poor Titus is got in the Pound, 'Till the Doctor produce the Sum, Full Thirty thousand pound: If you knew on what damnable score Such perilous words he brought forth, You'd say his false TONGUE cost more Than ever his Head was worth. VI. The Doctor an Evidence Against our Great DUKE did come in; Nay, such was his Insolence, To impeach our Gracious QUEEN: For which such Indictments are brought, Such Actions of Scandal crowd in, That Titus could wish, 'tis thought, He were out of the Doctors Skin. VII. Nay, further, while Titus swore For the Safety and Life of the KING, The Doctor began to roar, And belch'd out his poyson'd Sting: The Doctor for Titus may stretch, H'has so brought his bus'ness about, Without the kind help of Ketch It's fear'd he will scarce get out. VIII. Through sixteen close Key-holes, 'tis plain, Invisible Titus did pass, And the Doctor got back again, To catch a great Don at Mass: But now they are both in the Trap, a Wager but Jack in the Fields, Tho' Titus may chance to 'scape, Has the Doctor fast by the heels.
