MERCVRIVS
PRAGMATICUS.
Communicating Intelligence from all Parts,
touching all Affaires, Designes, Humours and Conditions

and the Head-Quarters.

Brave Times my Masters, we shall know,
When this base Rebell Rout
Shall light the Devill to our woe
BY Crumwells Flaming Snowl.
The Sisters shall rejoyce and sing
Old Anthems for their now-made King.
Are ye resolv'd to bathe your soules
In guiltlesse Royal Blood?
Doe you beleeve, when as Judge ROLES
Swears that 'is Wondrous good?
Beleeve me then, for what I speak is true,
You've Try'd the KING; The Devill will Try yd
Thou senselesse block, hold up thy head,
Black Tom it is I meane,
Thou mayst be hang'd when CHARLES is dead,
and so conclude the Seane.
Cromwell taught thee to inveagle,
And setthy Owles upon our EAGLE.
- Nemo me Impune Lacessit.
ANd now let me knott my Satyrick Whip-coard and sting your
cauterized Consciences a little with some more rugged and
serious Reprehensions; ye obdurate Rebells at Westminster,
