ON August's foure and twentieth Eve, The Cities Soveraigne and the Shrieve To Smithfield came if you'l beleeve to see th'ungodly flagges. The Livery men were sore put too't, Though some wore shoe, and some wore boot, They 'wre all constraind to trans on foot, God save 'em. Entring through Duck-lane at the Crowne, The soveraigne Cit began to frowne, As if 't abated his rewowne, the paint did so o'retop him. Downe with these Dagons then, quoth he, They outbrave my dayes Regality, For's pride and partiality Jove crop him. Ile have no puppet-playes, quoth he, The harmlesse-mirth displeaseth me, Begun on August twenty three, full twelve howres too early. A Yonker then began to laugh, 'Gainst whom the Major advanc't white staffe, And sent him to the Compter safe, sans parly. Another wight (in wofull wise) Besought the Major, his pupetries, That he would not Babell-onize, surely they were not whorish. Oh do'nt my bratts Isabellize, They ne're did Meretritialize Betwixt your Lordships Ladies thighes, peace Villaine.

There was a Varlet (close at hand) To execute (Gold chaines) command Pull'd wight away straight, notwithstand- -ing, fowle twas. He that shew'd wonders made of waxe, Spoke in behalfe of his fine knacks, Quoth he, we spit no fire of flax, nor such like puppet showes. Besides we shew his Excellence, Quoth Major, that is a faire pretence, Gods-nigs tis time that I were hence s'away'h goes. On top of Booth sat pudding John, (Lord would be loath to sit thereon,) I'me sure he wisht his Lordship gone, yet durst not tell him so. But when his Lordship left the Fayre, John set up throat did rend the Ayre, And glad he was, he lowd did sweare he was gone.
