HAil to the Knight of the Post; To Titus the Chief of the Town; Titus who vainly did boast of the Salamancha-Gown; Titus who saw the world o're, from the Tower of Valadolid, Yet stood in the White-horse Door, and swore to it, like the Creed.
[2] Titus at Watton in May, To Titus at Islington; And Titus the selfsame day Both Here and There again. Titus who ever swore Truth, His politick Plots to maintain, And never yet bawk'd an Oath, When call'd to the Test again. [3] Then Titus was Meekest of all, When Never a Peny in's Purse, And oft did on Pickering call, His Charity to Imburse. But when He swore Damnable Oaths, And Lying esteemed no Sin, Then Titus was One of those Whom the Devil had entred in. [4] Then Titus the Frown of Heav'n, And Titus a Plague upon Earth; Titus who'l ne'r be Forgiven, Curs'd from his Fatal Birth; Titus the Curse and the Doom Of the Rich and the Poor Man too; Oh Titus, thou Shred of a Loom, What a plague dost thou mean to do? [5] Titus an Orthodox Beast, And Titus a Presbyter Tall; Titus a Popish Priest, And Titus the shame of all;
Titus who ne'r had the skill The Wise with his Plots to deceive; But Titus whose Tongue can kill; Whom Nature has made a Slave. [6] Titus the Light of the Town, Where Zealots and Whigs do resort; Titus the Shame of the Gown, And Titus the Scorn of the Court; Titus who Spew'd out the Truth, To Swallow the Covenant; Yet never blush'd at an Oath, Whom Lying has made a Saint. [7] Yet Titus believed cou'd be Against any Popish Lord; Whilst still against S------y The Witness and Truths abhorr'd; So Titus got Credit and Gold For Lying, nor thought it a Sin; But against Dissenters bold The Truth is not worth a pin. [8] Thus Titus Swore on apace, those whom he never did see; Yet Titus with brazen Face Wou'd our Preserver be. But as Titus the foremost in Trust Discover'd this Mystery: May Titus so be the First That leads to the Triple-Tree.
