THere is an old Proverb, which all the world knowes, Anything may be spoke, so't be under the Rose, Then now let us speake, whilst wee are on the hint, Of the State of the Land, and th' enormities in't. Under the rose be it spoke, there's a number of knaves, More then ever were knowne in a stock before; But I hope that their mischiefs have digg'd their owne graves, And wee'l never trust Knave for their sakes any more. Under the rose, etc. the Citie's an Asse, So long to the Publique to let their gold runne, To keepe the King out, but 'tis now come to passe, I am sure they will lose, whosoever has wonne. Under the rose etc. there's a company of men, Traine Bands they are call'd, a pox confound 'm. And when they are waiting at Westminster Hall, May their Wives be made whores, and begot with child all. Under, etc. there's a damn'd Committee, Sits in Hell (Goldsmiths Hall) in the midst of the City, Only to sequester the poore Cavaliers, The Devill take their soules and the Hang-man their ears. Under the Rose be it spoke, if you doe not repent Of that horrible sin, your pure Parliament, Pray stay till Sir Thomas doth bring in the King, Then Derrick may chance have them all in a string. Under the Rose be't spoke, let the Synod now leave To wrest the whole Scripture poore soules to deceive, For all they have spoke, or taught, will never save 'em, Unlesse they will leave that fault, Hell's sure to have 'em.
Mr. Finis. Mr. An. Dom. 1647.
