WHat maketh the Souldiers To stand to their armes? Tis for what they profest, To keep us from harms, The Members Secluded Come now in by Swarms, To fill up the Parliament Full, full, full, To fill up the Parliament Full. You know that the City Gates, Late were thrown down, The Walls too were order'd By Parliament Frown: But General Monck, has pleas'd Souldier and Gown, And fild, etc. A dispute there was had, By the Members Secluded, Brave Monck was the Umpire, And found them Deluded,
But Englands great joy, Is now wholy Concluded, For He's fild, etc. Sir Arthur the Valiant, Must make his Speech large, Lest the Members Excluded, Lay Treason to 's Charge, Heed better t have dealt, With his Newcastle Barge, Than to see the Old Parliament full, ful, full Than to see the Old Parliament full. The Aldermen Grave, And the Commons o' th City, Imprisoned were, The more is the pity, But Genral Monck said, That I will acquit ye, For the Parliament now shall be ful, ful, ful For the Parliament now shall be full.
THe Parliament now will come into their Geers For secluded Prin (that once lost his ears) Marcht in witth his Rapier for Commons and Peers, To fill up the Parliament full, ful, ful, To fill up the Parliament full. Whose often declaring, Has furnisht the Nation With Parliament Arguments, Of the old Fashion, And would have both Commons, and Lords in this nation, To fill up, etc. Our brave General Monck, We bound are to thank, The Honest Lord Fairfax, Has plaid (to) his Prank, No thanks to be given, To the Rump nor the Shank, To fill up, etc, Had the City ne'r moved, Nor the Prentices strove, They'd lost their Old Charter, But Monck had a love,
To challenge the Grand Ones, Which Mischiefs did move, And so fil'd up the, etc. But now our brave Members, Have taken their seats, The very first day, They did Honorable feats, For the good of this Nation, Which will prove no cheats, To fill up, etc. The Citizens ith Tower, At Liberty they have set, A more gallanter deed, Was never known yet, Then the setting them free, And th' brave Prentices to quit, For the Parliament now shall be ful, ful, ful For the Parliament now shall be full. Now to God let us pray, That all may be mended, That freedom may flourish, And all strife may be ended, For Generall Monck, Hath us hugely befriended, In filling the Parliament full, full, full, In filling the Parliament full.
