FRom all that like the Triple Crown, And worship Maries silken Gown: From ev'ry Corydon and Clown, Who now are (in) or (out) of Town. Libera nos, etc. From all the Rascally Besetters, And all that like to go in Fetters: From all the FATE of Colemans Letters, For which he was before his Betters. Libera nos, etc. From all who chuse to lye in Straw, And all against that Sweedish-Law, Which keeps the JESUITS so in Awe, That there they dare not set a Paw. Libera nos, etc. From Enemies to Grace and Glory, And from a profligated TORY: So charmed with Romance and Story, Not paying Homage to the Hoary. Libera nos, etc. From him that putteth Bad for Good, But plainly (now) is understood: Who waiteth for a Romish HOOD, And longs to go in Shoes of WOOD. Libera nos, etc. From all the Vile Knights of the Post, That of their Villany do boast: From all that Protestants do roast, And also from an IRISH-HOST. Libera nos, etc. From all that live to Drink and Dance, Who Providence turn into Chance: From all Compliers (now) with France, And from all Enemies to PRANCE. Libera nos, etc. From all that worship Wafer-Gods, And (vilely) Nations set at Odds: Who are (at best) but earthen Clods, And merit more than Bridewel-Rods. Libera nos, etc. From all that plow with Ox, and Ass, And from a Frenchified Lass: From all Adorers of the Mass, Who bow to Wood, and Stone, and Brass. Libera nos, etc.
From charmed ones with Guiney-Pigs, And all that bowl without their Trigs: From all who like the Spanish Figs, And TORIES who abhor the WHIGS. Libera nos, etc. From every Monopolizer, And also from a Temporizer: From every fat Gormandizer, And from a sordid Stigmatizer. Libera nos, etc. From all that set a COMPASS wide, Yet (only) study Wind and Tide: From all that play and cheat at Hide, And from a Frenchified Bride. Libera nos, etc. From Him who is so full of Ire, As if he had some savage Sire: Who could piss out the City Fire, So much as (then) He did desire. Libera nos, etc. From all who daily lay a Snare For Innocents, but Nocents spare: Who in their handy-work may share, And not appear a Match for CARE. Libera nos, etc. From every insipid Jack, That Brains as well as Bags doth lack: From Newgate-Midwife, and her BLACK, Who plot for Protestants a RACK. Libera nos, etc. From Millers chiefly wishing Grist, And Smiters with a wicked Fist: From all that PAPISTS (slily) list, And also from a Scotish-Mist. Libera nos, etc. From all that's lately falsely made, And may to others be a SHADE: From all who drive the Devils Trade, And dare not call a Spade a SPADE. Libera nos, etc. From him that likes not Trout, or Tench, And from the tyrannizing French: From sending of another WENCH To be indulged Bed and Bench. Libera nos, etc. From
From all the TORIES at S. Ives, And also from all Romish Knives: From (ruled) Husbands (ruling) Wives, And from all such domestick Lives. Libera nos, etc. From all infernal Newgate-Art, That's now in value like a FAR Who may in time experience Smart, And ride to Tyburn in a CART. Libera nos, etc. From all who deepest Oaths do think The greatest RHETORICK, and wink: From all that like to Lead may sink, Yet Healths to D. and Devil drink. Libera nos, etc. From every suborned PAIN, Who thirsteth for to slay the SLAIN: From all would go to Hell for Gain, And introduce a Foreign Train. Libera nos, etc. From FAUXES and their Lanthorns dark, From Tyburn-Langhorn's quondam Clark, Who roars, but sings not like a Lark, And meriteth his Masters Mark. Libera nos, etc. From PLUTO and from Popish NAT, Who eats in Lent no Lean nor Fat: From Sacramental-Roger's Cat, And also from a Crape CU-RAT. Libera nos, etc. From ev'ry perjured Elector, And ev'ry Protestant Dissector From evr'y daring, damming Hector, And also from a shitten RECTOR. Libera nos, etc. Ah! but there's yet another Tool, Who is (at once) both Knave and Fool: Let him go to S. OMERS School, If that he cannot go to Stool. Alas! he is a broken Reed, Yet longeth Others for to bleed: But give me leave now to proceed, And cast away this stinking Weed. From that L'STRANGE, that's a strange Lee, Who stingeth worse than any Bee: This Norfolk Dumplin once did flee, From Englands POWER to get free: When this arise, I clearly see, Unto S. OMERS goeth HE, In Rimmons house to bow his Knee, For libelling to that Degree: But this would be a Grief to Me, Who should go rather for his Fee To NEWGATE; thence to TYBUKN-TREE. Libera nos, etc. From him that is the Devils Guest, Yet by a (ghostly) Father Blest: From Wakeman, Gascoin, and the rest, Who long have been the Nations PEST. Libera nos, etc. From him that understands not Reason, But like a NABAL calls it Treason; And from a Dish that's out of Season.
From him who knows not Sea from Channel, But leaves a Saddle for a Pannel, And would have all interr'd in Flannel. Libera nos, etc. From all that break upon the Wheel, (When they themselves no Torture feel:) From all that whip with Rods of STEEL, And with a ROMAN-CUP do reel. Libera nos, etc. From all that limp, yet are not lame, And (solely) lay on others Blame: From every confessing DAME, And Others whom I dare not name. Libera nos, etc. From Him who makes a Galley-slave, And every out-landish Knave, That nothing more desires to have, Than live to dig anothers GRAVE. Libera nos, etc. From bloody Butchers, and dough Bakers, With all that are Foundation-shakers: From all S. OMERS Undertakers, And also from all Smithfield-Stakers. Libera nos, etc. From every informing Saul, That unto SATAN gives the Wall: To bring Dissenters into Thrall, Though into Hell himself doth fall. Libera nos, etc. From ev'ry Dog that will not fetch, And from a sanguinary KETCH, Who is so merciless a Wretch, When he at Tyburn Persons stretch. Libera nos, etc. From him who sees no Wood for Trees, And yet is busie as the Bees: From him that's setled on his Lees, And speaketh not without his Fees. Libera nos, etc. From all that cause domestick strife; A smoaking Chimney, stabbing Knife; A tired Horse, and scolding WIFE, That Death is wished and not Life. Libera nos, etc. From ev'ry (Military) Feast, Where ENOSH drinketh like a Beast, And where the Greatest is not Least. Libera nos, etc. From all the Enemies to KNOX, And also from Pandora's BOX: From Adders unto Plebis VOX, And from the Frenchified POX. Libera nos, etc. From all that imitate Jane Shore, An (infamous) though (Royal) WHORE, And died in a Ditch therefore.
