The Cities Loyaltie to their KING.
WHy kept your Train-Bands such a stirre?
why sent you them by clusters,
Then went unto Saint
James's Parke,
why took you then their musters?
Why rid my Lord up Fleet-street,
with Coaches at least twenty?
And fill'd, they say, with Alddrmen,
as good they had beene empty:
London is a brave Towne,
yet I their cases pitty,
Their Maior and some few Aldermen,
have cleane undone the City.
The Prentices are gallant Blades,
and to the King are clifty,
But the Lord Maior and Aldermen,
are scarce so wise as thrifty:
Ile pray for the Apprentices,
they to the King were hearty;
For they have done all that they can,
to advance their Soveraignes party:
London, &c.
What's now become of your brave
Poyntz,
and of your Generall
Massey?
If you Petition for a peace,
these Gallants they will slash yee:
Where now are all your Reformadoes,
to
Scotland gone together?
'Twere better they were fairly trust,
then they should bring them hither:
London, &c.
But if your Aldermen were false,
or
Glyn that's your Recorder,
Let them never betray you more,
but hang them up in order:
All these men may be coacht as well
as any other sinner
Up
Holborne, and ride forward still
to
Tyburne to their dinner:
London, &c.
Gond send the valiant Generall may
restore the King to glory,
Then that name I have honoured so,
will famous be in story:
Which if he doe not I much feare
the ruine of the Nation,
(And that I should be loth to see)
his Houses desolation:
London is a brave Towne,
yet I their cases pitty.
Their Maior and some few Aldermen
have cleane undone the City.
The MEMBERS Justification.
DEn. Hollis is a gallant man,
and was for them too crafty,
What he pretended for the King,
was for the Members safety:
Sir
Stapleton's a sterne brave boy,
although his Spouse be courtly,
He went to
Yorke, and's labour lost,
he could not bring
Franck Wortley:
The Parliament hath sitten close,
as ere did Knight in saddle,
For they have sitten full six yeares,
and now their egges prove addle.
Brave
Fairfax did himselfe besiege
poore
Franke, and him hath undone,
Yet lost more men in taking him,
then he did taking
London:
Now whither is
Will▪ Waller gone?
to Sea with Prince Elector,
Will he forsake his Lady so,
and leave her no Protector?
The Parliament, &c.
Jack Maynard is a loyall blade,
yet blind as any Beetle,
He purchases the Bishops Lands,
yet scarce can see
Pauls steeple.
Both
Glyn and
Harlow are for
Wales,
and
Lewis for his Madams,
These
Brittaines will not change their bloods▪
with
Noa's no scarce with
Adams:
The Parliament, &c.
Clotworthy is a zealous man,
yet hath his purse well lined;
So hath
Wat Long, yet he's we know
religiously inclined:
But
Nichols is for
Pluto's Court,
in inquest of his Father,
O
[...]'s Unckle
Pym, and there he found,
Strowd, Hambden▪ Pym, together:
The Parliament, &c.
These three have
Pluto's Mercury sent,
and wonder they prove such men,
To make three Kingdomes one poor State,
and doe it worse then
Dutch-men:
Their Synod now sits in great feare,
and so does
Iack Presbyter,
That we shall have a King againe,
and once more see a Miter:
Yet they have sitten wondrous close,
As ere did Knight in saddle,
For they have fitten full seven yeeres,
And now their Egges prove addle.
FINIS.
