LIke the Egyptian Locus thou and all the rest, Which did so much provoke us, The North wind now doth scatter, But tis no matter I hope twill spoyle your nest: So that I thinke that cursed Generation, Of Vipers which so much did vexe our Nation Shall never meete againe to wrong us in such fashion Oh thou Projector whither wilt thou stray. Didst thou the hangman cozen, he'd rather meete with thee Than sometimes halfe a dozen Which at monethly Sessions Makes their confessions, though they condemned be. And now I thinke there's many Ballet Singers, With thirsty throates for thy returning lingers, They'd laugh to see thy name in Print betwixt their fingers Oh thou Projector etc. Had'st thou the wings of a Swallow, To fly so swift, No other Birds could follow: That the pretty Jennit Lesse than a Lenit, to flye had not the shift: Else surely she would never stay behinde thee, But take her flight, and use the meanes to finde thee, And Ide be glad to know what fortune hath asign'd thee O thou Projector etc.
If thou be still bent to travell, then learne to play The Mountebanke and cavill, With each man of fashion In what Nation thou art dispos'd to stay. Then see that neither honest man nor cheater In juggling trickes doe shew themselves compleater Twill make them thinke they art and skill to be the greater. O thou Projector etc. Thou exceed'st Hocus Pocus at presto be gone, As late when thou forsooke us Thou didst it so trimly, And so nimbly as twas perceiv'd by none. Though Hocus be at sleight of hand so cunning Thou sleight of foote performed by thy running But sure thou thoughts it time some dangers to be shunning. Oh thou Projector, etc. Thus to conclude my ditty, if thou thyselfe doe save The greater is the pitty, That so great Oppressor Should have lesser than he deserves to have. But now perforce I see we must forsake thee Thou art got to farre, for me too overtake thee, Yet whilst I stay behinde, Ile cry a halter shake thee. O thou Projector whither wilt thou stray,
