IF Job should rise and see this fashion That Is come now into this Nation, He would say he never saw Such Monsters in Arabia: He'd Daughters fairer then ye know That never wore a high Cocko, Isaiah the Prophet tells That Women did wear Hoods and Bells In tineling Ornaments went fine Some had Toers like to the Moon, For which there was a curse so added Fair Ladies turn'd bald and scabbed: And so their Sin did grow so gross, Turn'd fruitfull Land to Barreness, Their fault as I suppose was so Fashioned like to our Cocko We imitate them very far, They were ill, but we are war. The Women now are surn'd so vain, That every Hussie has a Train: Some wants a Page to hold it up, And some does trail it in the Dub: I mean not by your Ladies fine Puts on Hawk-hoods before they dine. But Fidlers, Suters and others Wives Put on Cocko's like great Bee-hives. A Burgess Wife, as I heard say Did wear a Gold Chain on a Day, And came to see a great Man dine With this Gold Chain, and Cloaths most fine For which Extravagance I hear The Excise was doubl'd that same year. First when this Habit did appear For Gold some Men did horns wear: There's something more I will conceal The Abby stairs can tell right well: Where first Cocko's were first invented They say the Pope and he consented. This Land is turn'd so wondrous gross None know an old Wife by a Lass Unless that they turn up their Tails, For all their Heads are full of Sails. There is some Women I am sure Will spend more money within few year Upon their heads and eike their tails, Might pay their Husbands diverse Bills, The Taverners go on with force They'l have Cockos tho a bare Arse, And some has silk hings o're their Doups By mixt miscounts and ill fill'd Stoups, They're Granadeers not worth a Plack For they fight best upon their Back. When Ladies meets on Street like Dams They joyn their Heads as they were Rams As they go mincing on the Street, They look down to their Golden feet, And then they cast their heads so light
Looks back't see if their Tail be right Poor Babes that know not Good or ill Whom their fond Mothers thus do spill With Tippets and their high Coko's Tho' bubles hinging at their Nose; These innocents are not to blame, But to their Mothers 'tis a shame, When men do see they much admire So much Mortality is here Those Granadeers comes in behind With Top sails up before the wind. Their Gowns and Tails are all indented Some say the Taylors did invent it Some call them windy airy Fools, The Women has been at their Schools With golden Frenge about their Vails, And like young Cats play with their tails, That Ancient trade of merry play King Solomon himself did say, That he was made a simple fool For bieng at the Womans School: Good honest Sampson he was strong, But yet a Woman did him wrong Had Dalila had a Cocko, She'd Skar'd the D------ and him also Great things against them in Pauls speeches: But now they mind to wear the Breeches If any Woman get her will, Her Husband surely is a fool; Unless that he can do no better But wear the Horns, a simple Matter: If Sarah or Rebecca saw, They would say here there is no Law That Albanie no truth affords, Since all the Women are turnd Lords: She call'd Abram Lord had no Cockos, Or else he from her Tent would go; Instead of Cocko's or your sails, Rebecca cover'd her head with Vails, I wish I could reprove the sin That in the World did first begin, For it was pride and arrogance, Now Beggar Brats do it advance. Say what I will they'll play their pranks I fear that I get little thanks. Catch bomos Wives I must excuse Their wand and blaze is still in use They gree together in an unction Their lives depends on mens destruction Excuse me all of honest Fame I have not mentioned your Name: I tell you all both great and smal, This fault is Epidemical Whether high Cocko's be best or worst, I think the Devil made the first.
