WHy kept your Train-Bands such a stirre? why sent you them by clusters, Then went unto Saint James's Parke, why took you then their musters? Why rid my Lord up Fleet-street, with Coaches at least twenty? And fill'd, they say, with Alddrmen, as good they had beene empty: London is a brave Towne, yet I their cases pitty, Their Maior and some few Aldermen, have cleane undone the City. The Prentices are gallant Blades, and to the King are clifty, But the Lord Maior and Aldermen, are scarce so wise as thrifty: Ile pray for the Apprentices, they to the King were hearty; For they have done all that they can, to advance their Soveraignes party: London, etc. What's now become of your brave Poyntz, and of your Generall Massey? If you Petition for a peace, these Gallants they will slash yee: Where now are all your Reformadoes, to Scotland gone together? 'Twere better they were fairly trust, then they should bring them hither: London, etc. But if your Aldermen were false, or Glyn that's your Recorder, Let them never betray you more, but hang them up in order: All these men may be coacht as well as any other sinner Up Holborne, and ride forward still to Tyburne to their dinner: London, etc. Gond send the valiant Generall may restore the King to glory, Then that name I have honoured so, will famous be in story: Which if he doe not I much feare the ruine of the Nation, (And that I should be loth to see) his Houses desolation: London is a brave Towne, yet I their cases pitty, Their Maior and some few Aldermen have cleane undone the City.

DEn. Hollis is a gallant man, and was for them too crafty, What he pretended for the King, was for the Members safety: Sir Stapleton's a sterne brave boy, although his Spouse be courtly, He went to Yorke, and's labour lost, he could not bring Franck Wortley: The Parliament hath sitten close, as ere did Knight in saddle, For they have sitten full six yeares, and now their egges prove addle. Brave Fairfax did himselfe besiege poore Franke, and him hath undone, Yet lost more men in taking him, then he did taking London: Now whither is Will. Waller gone? to Sea with Prince Elector, Will he forsake his Lady so, and leave her no Protector? The Parliament, etc. Jack Maynard is a loyall blade, yet blind as any Beetle, He purchases the Bishops Lands, yet scarce can see Pauls steeple. Both Glyn and Harlow are for Wales, and Lewis for his Madams, These Brittaines will not change their bloods, with Noa's no scarce with Adams: The Parliament, etc. Clotworthy is a zealous man, yet hath his purse well lined; So hath Wat Long, yet he's we know religiously inclined: But Nichols is for Pluto's Court, in inquest of his Father, Or's Unckle Pym, and there he found, Strowd, Hambden, Pym, together: The Parliament, etc. These three have Pluto's Mercury sent, and wonder they prove such men, To make three Kingdomes one poor State, and doe it worse then Dutch-men: Their Synod now sits in great feare, and so does Jack Presbyter, That we shall have a King againe, and once more see a Miter: Yet they have sitten wondrous close, As ere did Knights in saddle, For they have sitten full seven yeeres, And now their Egges prove addle.
