The leacherous Goat, took Martin by the throat,
the Pox consum'd his tallow;
Then let us carrouss, Confusion to their House,
And here is to thee good fellow.
But let us be a little serious; Think you that the King of
France, or any King in Christendom, will hold any Negociaition
with such perjur'd Regicides? The Queen of Sweden us about to
proclaim open Wars against them: The Turk strangles their
Agents there; no people ( be they never so Barbarous ) but
hares their persidiousness and disloyalty, the very heavens blush
to behold their inquiry, and the earth trembles to bear such
Monsters, the Gallows groans for them; and all people curse
them; yet the audacious Rebels goes on as confidently as if
they had God in a string, and could make him do what tricks
they lift, whilst Cromwel with the seven deadly sins dance the morrice,
and made Musick to please him.
Another Act was for admitting the Purchasers of Bishops Lands
to pay the whole Purchase Money by Weavers-hall Bills: Weavers-hall,
and Goldsmith hall, two of the Devils Ware-house,
must now joyn infuse, and bugger one another to beget new Sums
of Money for King Copernicus, old Beizebubs Ale-brewer, who
was so sick in transporting into Ireland, that he disgorg'd a
whole Guile of his Villany into the Sea, which ( it is thought)
will go neer to cause a great dearth of Fish this yeer, by reason
of the poyson of his stomack, which hath such a working in
Neptunes watery Mansion, that the curled Waves threaten revenge
on all their Fleet: Four of their best Ships being since
sunck before King sale and Youghal, and three taken; in one of
which were three Cart loads of rich Hargings that came from
White-hall for NOL to keep Court with in Ireland, and most of
the Kings best Houshold- stuffe, Pictures, Statues and Medals
plundered from St Jamses, which are now sent to the right
Owner into France : Nay, worse then this, Coppin is said to be
dead of some of the Rebels marks of honor he gained the last
Fight : three Ships taken, and carried to Scilly; fix taken on
the Irish Seas, and carried to Dunkirk, all ships of great burthen.
