WHEN Jeroboams Calves were rear'd, And Church was neither lov'd nor fear'd: When Treason had a fine new Name, And Pulpits did like Beacons flame. When sent by Teacher of the Word, The Rabble, arm'd with Gun and Sword, Did fight the Battels of the Lord. Dissenter (now grown a great Rabby) Was then in's Swadling-Clouts a Baby: Dissenter, Son of Presbyter, Who was undoubted Son and Heir Of Puritan, who was the Son Of Calvin; he was christned John, And sign'd with hot Iron at Noyon. From whence, as Sober men descant, Knaves learn'd to burn Board Protestant, That with a doleful sigh and groan, Foretells the Good Old Cause must down; And from this Calvin John, the great Learn'd Doctor T.O. as some relate, Found a way in at Boy's Back-gate. Dissenter, Brat of Presbyter, That Gospel-Comet, that Dog-Star, Whose very Preaching slew more men Than Bonner with Fire, Stake, and Chain. He with wild Zeal, and Lungs like Boreas Once fought and taught, and 'tis notorious! Murther'd his King to make him glorious. Dissenter in his Tub begins, And bawls out loud, Friends, leave your sins: But, rallying up his Saints in swarms, He whispers, Boys, stand to your Arms! Stand to your Arms, by Tory rude Our Gods can never be subdu'd; Money, I mean, and Multitude. Next, in a rage, and frantick fume He bellow's out, Beware of Rome, The Pope and Arbitrary Power, Like Dragons fierce will us devour: O Hellish, Popish Plot! down, down! Then whispers; Boys (let's not be known) We have contriv'd Plot of our own. Dissenter, speaking words like these, Doth give his Handkerchief a squeeze, With pleasing twang then tunes his Prose, Drawing John Calvin through his Nose. He tells the Sisters, if Plot take, The Righteous, as before, will make The greatest in the Kingdom shake.
But (Oh alas!) who can foresee The wild intrigues of Destiny? In steps a Fatal Messenger Acquaints the Tubster, Noble Peer Absconds himself. The dire affright Perplext the Audience; yet the Knight O'th Tub bawl'd on with all his might. Thou little Mortal of three Names, Pilot of Plots, and Sire of Shams, Thou Subteranean, secret Spring, That mov'st all Engines 'gainst the King: If thou forsake us, we dispair, The Tory Sheriffs, and new Mayor Will th' Righteous all to pieces tear. Wo, wo be now to all our Clubbs, And Colonels of Plot-Meal-Tubs! Now Salamanca wo to thee, And thy illustrous Family! Wo unto thee thou stubborn Whigg, Who whilom lookt so bold and big, Thou wilt be taught another Jigg! Goals, Dungeons, Racks (he knock'd his Breast, Inspir'd as Prophet, and as Priest) Ropes, Halters, Hatchets, Pillories Present themselves before our Eyes: Oh true blew Protestant Rioters! Off goes your Heads, and eak our Ears; The Sisters pour'd out floods of Tears. Associate, mount, raise the rude Rabble, Reform the Kingdom to a Babel, Cry up false Jelousies and Fears: Turn Paring-shovels into Spears! Yet, Brethren, boast your Innocence, Religion being your Pretence, Torture the Text to any Sence. And cry aloud, We love the King, Though we intend not such a thing; For our Designs do drive us rather To serve him as we serv'd his Father; Whom we (his Subjects good and true) Made stand at's Gate to publick view In White Cap, and in Wastcoat blew. Tubster concludes, and so will I, Affirming that the Azure Skie Will fall, and Larks find a hard tryal, When Dissenter turns Subject Loyal. Oblivion Acts change not his Case, No Clemency, no Laws of Grace Make white this Ethiopians Face.
