ANARCHUS. Man, if thou be'st a Babe of Grace, And of a Holy Seed; I will reply incontinent, And in my words proceed! I will not then converse with thee, PHILORTHUS. I trust, ANARCHUS, we all three inherit The selfsame gifts; and share the selfsame Spirit. ANARCHUS. Know then, my brethren! heaven is clear; The Righteous now shall flourish; and Good days are coming on! Come then, my brethren! and be glad; And eke rejoice with me! Lawn Sleeves and Rochets shall go down; We'll break the windows, which the Whore And when the Popish Saints are down, Rome's trash and trump'ries shall go down; Whate'er the Popish hands have built, Our hammers shall undo! We'll break their Pipes, and burn their Copes; And pull down Churches too! We'll Exercise within the groves; And teach beneath a tree! We'll make a pulpit of a cart; And, hey! then up go we! We'll down with all the 'Varsities! The language of the Beast. We'll drive the Doctors out of doors; And Arts, where'er they be! We'll cry both Arts and Learning down; And, hey! then up go we! We'll down with Deans, and Prebends too! But I rejoice to tell ye, How, then, we will eat pig our fill; And capon by the belly! We'll burn the Fathers' witty tomes; And make the Schoolmen flee! If once, that antichristian crew We'll therefore cry good manners down; The name of Lord shall be abhorred! No reason why, in Church, or State, But when the Change of Government We'll make the wanton sisters stoop! Our Cobblers shall translate their souls We'll make Tom T[YLER] as good as my Lord; We'll crush, and fling the Marriage Ring Into the Roman see! We'll ask no Bands, but even clap hands; PHILARCHUS. Heaven keep such vermin hence! If sinful dust May boldly choose a punishment, and trust Their own desires; let Famine, Plague, or Sword; A treacherous friend, or (what is more abhorred!) A foolish fair contentious wife, first seize On our sad souls: than such wild beasts as these! ANARCHUS. Surely, thou art a hypocrite! A lewd false-hearted brother! I find thou art a Child of Rome; And smell the Whore thy mother! |
