OR, NOLLS NOSE Newly Revived, and taken out of his TOMB,
By Collonel BAKER.
Wherein is set down, the Acts of all those
In
Pluto's Black Court, that guarded
Nolls Nose,
As
Harrison, Hewson, and
Cook that curst Pigg,
With
Cobbet, Vain, Scot and Nurse
Haslerigg.
And next those Black Chaplains that preach'd up
Nolls Nose,
Goodwin, Milton, and
Peters i'th close.
Hells Counsel's agreed, and now do dispose
Of
Nedham to write for
Lucifers Nose,
He being a Vagrant that always did live ill,
Is thought a fit Member to write for the Devil.

NOLLS NOSE Revived
Reader,
GIve ear a while, and here with patience view
This old Cathedral Nose, which now's turnd new,
By searching, digging, delving of the ground
Though's Body's lost his Nose is newly found.
'Tis from his Grave again new come to light
Extinguisht there, but now it burns so bright
That ev'ry eye may glistring see afar,
In all appearance like a Blazing-Star;
By th' light of which Nose in the darkest Times
(Except you're stark-blind) you may read these Rimes,
LEwd
Oliver, shew but thy Nose,
Thou needst not fear ten thousand foes,
Brave Cavaliers true Loyal friends,
Thy Nose hath brought them to their ends:
The
Yorkish and
Lancastrian Rose,
Are both usurp'd by thy vile Nose.
Thy Coper Nose and brazen Face,
Were fit conioyn'd with
Joans fat A—
I have no mind to come too
[...]igh,
For fire and smoak from thence doth fly,
And such a stinke of Sulphur's there
Sure
Aetna or
Vesuvio's neer.
Thou hadst been blind, but bor'st a Charm
Thy Nose should do thy Eys no harm;
Troop not too near but be afeard
The sight of this will fire thy beard,
Jone hath a Hole and they call it Hell
More fit for thy Nose then
Whitehall to dwell.
Old
Murreys Nose once laid an Egg,
Of that thy ramping Nose was b
[...]ed
His Nose did many Trumpet marr
His Nose it did sound bloud and war,
The Crocodale so full of guile,
Of such a thing was hatch'd ere while.
Thou needst no Standard but thy Nose,
For ev'ry one that Standard knowes;
[Page 2]More terrible it is ith field,
then
Arthurs or
Rogero's shield:
Thy Nose doth still for mischief wagg,
tis like to
Tamerlanes black Flagg;
Fatal to us, and to the Scot,
Tredah the same black
Omen got:
Thank
Jove it is amongst the
Alluding to his being in Ireland at that time when this was made.
Bogs,ere long it will exalt those
Fogs,
And make them all firm land appear,
oh happy we that thou cam'st there!
So many Murders hast done here,
two hundred thousand pounds a year;
Then thou shalt have to keep thy Court,
for making of the Devil sport.
If thy Nose had been there, it would not have run
at
Hyspaniola away soon:
Then threescore Bul-killers could not have bragd
they'd killd fifteen hundred, except they'd been hagd:
Ill hap had we that thy Nose was not there,
to have put the foul rogues in a vile
Panick fear.
When Coachman thou wast, to knave
Thurlo thy Knight,
thy Nose in the Coach-box the Horses did fright;
Thou thrusts thy Nose into every ones britch,
made me to scratch where it did not itch;
From thy vile Nose I was forc'd to fly,
Like
Grantham-Steeple it stands awry;
Gainst any ones nose that grows upright,
thy Bilb
[...]w Nose is ready to fight;
When thou ridest in the Sun, thou needst have a Case,
thy Nose was made of a burning-Glasse:
Thy Nose some fiery
Comet shewes,
like
Nebuchainezars Furnace glowes;
And th' Ork thy Nose devours more meat,
then
Bel and
Dragon ere did eat:
Thou wip'st it like Justinian Nose,
and blood and murder still it blowes:
Some
Incubus thy Nose begot,
a snout like a
Phinocerot:
An Elophants Trunk it is as strong,
tis full as big, and full as long.
[Page 3]Thy Nose it is a slashing Nose,
Where ere it comes it still gives blowes,
More Noses it hath made to bleed,
Then did th'old Rams and Tom fooles Head,
This Nose, hath more flat Noses made
Then Ladies of Pleasure with their Trade,
And this Nose now's in Fashion most,
We all do feel it to our Cost:
The Scarlet Nose is wondrous high,
The Purple Nose comes somewhat high:
The Levelling Nose doth lower lye,
But the snaffling Nose is quite put by:
That Nose was like a Mountaine Ridge,
That Nose is now but made a Bridg:
The Romane Nose but weak to this,
And the
[...]oating Nose as faint I wis:
And all the Noses in the Song,
Must give way to the Nose moste Strong:
The Alcheroman Nose is Hugie great,
The Italian Nose is jealous yet:
The Swisses Nose is blunt and rough,
And the Spanish Nose is proud and snuff:
The French Nose is a tottie Nose,
The Scotch Nose false for their Kirk late Roase:
The Presbiters Nose is sharp and tart,
And the Jesuits Nose is quick and smart:
The Dutch Nose doth the Bottle bear,
And a running Nose the Irish wear:
The Polish Nose is brave and bold,
And the Russes Nose is oft acold:
The German Nose is big and strong,
And the Swedish Nose is strange and long:
And all the Noses in the song,
Must give way to the Nose moste Strong;
Thy Nose doth shine like Rubies red,
And richer then Saint
Denis Head,
'Tis the Carbuncle that was left,
At Median to light
Mahomet:
[Page 4]Thy Nose as great an Impostor was,
As many mischiefs brought to pass;
Thy Nose doth like
Belphegors show,
To
Plutoe's Court ere long 't shal go;
And
Corherus 'twil make to run,
As
Aercules before had done,
And all black Guards 't wil drive away,
If thou dost but thy Nose display:
If
Orpheus but this had wist,
His
Euridice he had not mist;
He had not gone for's wife till now,
And thy brave Nose had brought them through:
The furies it would force to slie,
No
Nemesis that dares come nie,
Until thou'rt call'd t'account for all,
Thy blood for Vengeance loud doth call.
Now wee'll petition the Rump for thee,
That thou their
Champion there shalt be;
They need not ride the Ass so poor,
In Hell they shall have treasure store;
Though Church and Royal Lands cannot
(Excise, and by Delinquents got,
Both
Indies, France, and
Spain beside,)
Suffice their
Lucre, Lust, and
Pride:
Yet
Mammon hath a mighty messe
Of wealth, will serve Saints more and lesse;
There's gold enough if they can win it,
Can, or cannot, the Devil's in it:
But stay, and win all
Scotland first,
The Kirk Hobgoblins do their worst:
Then down old
Noll, and leave us here,
And conquer those vast Regions there;
So thou shalt he a King ith close,
The Royal blood sticks on thy Nose;
And thou shalt reign in
Plutoes Hall,
Thy Name shall be NOSE-GENERAL;
And after ages shall thee call,
The Devils great
NOSE-GENERAL.
The land of Darkness this we may call,
When the Devils Nose did govern all.
A POSTSCRIPT, On the second part of NOLS Nose, newly revived.
NOls Nose, the Cobblin that made us afraid,
Those that conjur'd him up, would fain have him laid:
To cou
[...]in the Devil, he thought of a slight,
When he come for him and his Nose one night:
Noll gave him his
Bond in a mighty great winde,
Dennis Bond a very Rogue, and
Nols great Favourite, was used to call him his
Bond. He died the windy day before
Noll.
He took one up before, and the other behinde:
Saint
Denis is gone, and we lost the great Nose,
Good land-ma
[...]ks for rebel & traitors are those:
And since in
Whitehall great groans has been heard,
(Till His Ma
[...]esty came) it made them afeard.
Noll wants his old Chaplains were sit for his Nose,
Goodwin ▪ and
Milton, and
Peters ith close;
And
Stirry that saw him so high intercede,
At Heavens right hand for all Sa
[...]nts in their need.
His Messenger
Pain, and Soliciter
Cook,
For
Huson, and
Hulet ere long he doth look;
Hasilrigge, Cobbet, and
Harrison too,
In great
Plutoes Court they'll make much adoe:
Lilly shall be chief Astrologer chose,
And
Politicus write for
Lucifers Nose;
With his
bos in lingua, young
Tarquin to bring,
And
Hacker that was so harsh to the King:
Two brave Royal Kings most grosly abus'd
By
Hocus, and
Pocus, ought not be excus'd:
For the rest of the Rogues, by Hook or by Crook,
All Traytors and Rebels, the Devil doth look;
King-killers, King-catchers, and all wicked Rabble.
The Parliament cleanse, that ugly foul Stable:
So Heaven protect, bless, prosper the King,
To him and his house, rich treasure still bring.
The Kirk may no more set's together by th' ears,
In peace live without all jealousies and fears,
Pretence of Religeon, make no one to rise,
To set up such fellows, the land's grown more wise;
We have payd fort (I think) or else we're mista'en,
And many a brave man hath here got his bane;
[Page 6]When he rises again, his Nose will be red,
And many years after heel walk when he's dead:
Nols Ambition is layd but yet his vile Nose
Walks up and down still, in Verse, and in Prose.
You great Ones, have care how your Noses do rise,
Gainst your Kings any more, No I Nose doth advise:
Take this admonition, or else you're
[...]o blame,
The Rams-head and Goat do counsel the same;
Gave better advise then themselves would take,
For their souls, fa
[...]es, friends, reputations sake;
But now they repeat when it is too late,
Shun
Envy, Ambition, Pride,
[...]ucr
[...], and
Hate,
Rebellion, and
Treason (pretend what they w
[...]ll)
In obedience, good Sub
[...]ects will keep themselves still:
All these hor
[...]id crimes, and more they have done,
Ore the world have scandall'd the whole Nation:
Then lets do our best still, our Credites regain,
Few Rebels or Traitors are heard of in Spain:
To their Kings they bear such loyalty great,
Th' English (tis hop'd) will transcend them yet:
For we are descended from people mere brave,
The rest from the Jew, the Moor, and the Knave:
Tis a shame that the Turk, the Moor, and the Knave,
Should be to their Kings more Loyal and brave;
But the matter's now mended (for ever) we hope,
All rebels and traytors I wish them a Rope:
No Cadmean brethren contend for a tomb,
Nor
Esau and
Jacob here strive in the womb:
Our civil Wars cease, and never no more
The Kirk and the Scot break through the back-door:
Nor
Mazarine no more have his finger ith Pye,
Th'
Anabaptist and
Brownist both let them go by:
No
Phares or
Pharisee make a new breach;
Instead of Religeon Rebellion up preach:
Th' are false Religeons brought in by the Sword,
The Gospel of truth is taught by the Word:
That Blood-hound old Noll, and his Nose quire trod down,
The Royal House flourish, and King
Charles his CROWN.
FINIS.
