<HEAD>The Hi&s;tory of the Second Death
OF THE
RUMP.</HEAD>
<OPENER>To the Tune of, The Parliament &s;ate as &s;nugg as a Cat.</OPENER>
<LG N="1">
<HEAD>I.</HEAD>
<L>COme buy my fine Dity</L>
<L>Of News from the City,</L>
<L>As it was told in <HI>Devon&s;hire;</HI></L>
<L>The Pimp that wipes weekly</L>
<L>Your Breech Politickly</L>
<L>Sells not &s;o much Truth in a Quire.</L>

<L><HI>Tom Kings-man,</HI> near undone</L>
<L>With long &s;tay in <HI>London,</HI></L>
<L>La&s;t week to the Country did gallop,</L>
<L>Where he took Cavaliers</L>
<L>With his News by the ears,</L>
<L>As they did the Pot to drink all-up.</L>
</LG>
<LG N="3">
<HEAD>III.</HEAD>
<L>Quoth he. I once went</L>
<L>To th' late Parliament,</L>
<L>Who&s;e Members (when I had &s;een 'em)</L>
<L>Made me think of a Rat,</L>
<L>That was caught by a Cat,</L>
<L>And eat up to the Tayl, that is venom.</L>
</LG>
<LG N="4">
<HEAD>IV.</HEAD>
<L>But yet to the &s;tump</L>
<L>Of that Poy&s;onous Rump,</L>
<L>Th' <HI>Old Mouth,</HI> did &s;oder in &s;ea&s;on;</L>
<L>And when that was done,</L>
<L>Like a <HI>Lay-Elder</HI> Gun,</L>
<L>It &s;tunk at both ends of High Trea&s;on.</L>
</LG>
<LG N="5">
<HEAD>V.</HEAD>
<L>The <HI>Monster</HI> did come</L>
<L>Of mere <HI>Mouth</HI> and <HI>Bum,</HI></L>
<L>Mo&s;t cunningly thus compacted,</L>
<L>That if que&s;tion'd it were,</L>
<L>For Mi&s;chief done there,</L>
<L>It might &s;wear, 'twas by <HI>No Body</HI> acted.</L>
</LG>
<LG N="6">
<HEAD>VI.</HEAD>
<L>O' th' Nature and name</L>
<L>Of each Member that came,</L>
<L>Should I give a full relation,</L>
<L>You'ld gue&s;&s;e by the &s;tink,</L>
<L>That I rak't in the Sink,</L>
<L>And Common-&s;hore of the whole Nation.</L>
</LG>
<LG N="7">
<HEAD>VII.</HEAD>
<L>Religious you might</L>
<L>Find all there, but the right;</L>
<L>For through the &s;ame Sieve they ran,</L>
<L>Which <HI>Noll</HI> us'd before</L>
<L>To &s;ift the Hou&s;e 'ore,</L>
<L>Till nothing was left but the Bran.</L>
</LG>
<LG N="8">
<HEAD>VIII.</HEAD>
<L>But of tho&s;e they had,</L>
<L>Divi&s;ion being made</L>
<L>By Fortune's hand (which is uncertain)</L>
<L>Some Members got many,</L>
<L>Some few, &s;ome not any,</L>
<L>As <HI>Nevil</HI> complain'd, and <HI>Martin.</HI></L>
</LG>
<LG N="9">
<HEAD>IX.</HEAD>
<L>Indeed from U&s;urpers</L>
<L>They freed us, and our&mdash;Pur&s;e,</L>
<L>And pray&s;e of Thanks had been their hire,</L>
<L>For taking us than</L>
<L>Out o' th' Frying-pan,</L>
<L>Had they not ca&s;t us into the fire.</L>
</LG>
<LG N="10">
<HEAD>X.</HEAD>
<L>From <HI>Cromwell</HI> they voted</L>
<L>A Tyrant, though rotted,</L>
<L>Cau&s;e when they fir&s;t footed their Game,</L>
<L>Hee'd not let 'em tarry</L>
<L>To prey on the Quarry,</L>
<L>But gorged him&s;elf on the &s;ame.</L>
</LG>
<LG N="11">
<HEAD>XI.</HEAD>
<L>And King <HI>Oli-ver's</HI> Sons,</L>
<L>(Like Prince-playing Whore-&s;ons,</L>
<L>That on too high parts had ventur'd)</L>
<L>They &s;trip't with a hi&s;&s;e</L>
<L>Of their State-Properties,</L>
<L><HI>And</HI> exeunt two Fools as they enter'd.</L>
</LG>
<LG N="12">
<HEAD>XII.</HEAD>
<L>What el&s;e they do,</L>
<L>By our Pur&s;es we knew,</L>
<L>As well as that &s;cribling Knave <HI>Nedham;</HI></L>
<L>Some good Laws they un-did,</L>
<L>And &s;ome bad they founded,</L>
<L>And &s;hortned our Chain for our Freedom.</L>
</LG>
<LG N="13">
<HEAD>XIII.</HEAD>
<L>To quell this fierce Mon&s;ter,</L>
<L>A Knight did anon-&s;tir,</L>
<L>Who wanted Arms; yet from a Waggon</L>
<L>O' tho' Pope's hee'd take none,</L>
<L>But from <HI>Pre&s;ter-John,</HI></L>
<L>And &s;o St. <HI>George</HI> fell by the Dragon.</L>
</LG>
<LG N="14">
<HEAD>XIV.</HEAD>
<L>Then <HI>Lambert's</HI> Wife chid him,</L>
<L>And (like <HI>Cromwell</HI>) bid him</L>
<L>Confound it, and mount the Throne royal,</L>
<L>Your Weapon's as long</L>
<L>Quoth &s;he and as &s;trong,</L>
<L>My &s;elf of 'em both have made tryal.</L>
</LG>
<LG N="15">
<HEAD>XV.</HEAD>
<L>He find's th' <HI>Anabapti&s;t,</HI></L>
<L>For his purpo&s;e apti&s;t,</L>
<L>And treds the &s;teps of <HI>Knipper Dolin,</HI></L>
<L>He fa&s;ts, and he prays,</L>
<L>I'th' new canting phra&s;e,</L>
<L>As if heav'n were taken with drolling.</L>
</LG>
<LG N="16">
<HEAD>XVI.</HEAD>
<L>Some Packs he inveagles,</L>
<L>O'th' blood-coated Beagles,</L>
<L>To's partie, the Rump-men did &s;o to,</L>
<L>And victuall'd &s;o well,</L>
<L>Th'adjaceut fort Hell,</L>
<L>As if they no other would go to.</L>
</LG>
<LG N="17">
<HEAD>XVII.</HEAD>
<L>Little <HI>John</HI> thus did draw,</L>
<L>'Gain&s;t <HI>Robin</HI> th' Out-law,</L>
<L>(Good King) to try who &s;hould have thy Deer,</L>
<L>And thus for both poy&s;ons,</L>
<L>A quarrel did ri&s;e once</L>
<L>Betwixt the foul Toad and the Spider.</L>
</LG>
<LG N="18">
<HEAD>XVIII.</HEAD>
<L>Bold <HI>Lambert</HI> advanced,</L>
<L>He picquier'd, and pranced,</L>
<L>And's partie with &s;peeches did urge on,</L>
<L>But though he and <HI>Morley</HI></L>
<L>Did &s;narl and look &s;urly,</L>
<L>They cheated the De'il, and the Chirurgion.</L>
</LG>
<LG N="19">
<HEAD>XIX.</HEAD>
<L>For &s;oon the Red-coat,</L>
<L>(Who'l not fight, but Vote)</L>
<L>When <HI>Lambert</HI>'s &s;ide &s;tronger was found,</L>
<L>By (at lea&s;t) two foot,</L>
<L>And a Trooper to boot,</L>
<L>Did let the Rump fall to the ground.</L>
</LG>
<LG N="20">
<HEAD>XX.</HEAD>
<L>And with General <HI>Leuthall,</HI></L>
<L>The Hou&s;e they ore went all,</L>

<L>But &s;ought &s;till to hold,</L>

<LG N="21">
<HEAD>XXI.</HEAD>
<L>So fell th' aged &s;way,</L>
<L>Of five months and a day,</L>
<L>We yet &s;ee no heir apparent,</L>

<L><HI>But</HI> Fleetwood <HI>and</HI> Whitlock,</L>
<L>(The Law's cunning Picklock)</L>
<L>With <HI>Salloway</HI> and <HI>Vane,</HI> two prime praters,</L>
<L>Lov'd Trea&s;on &s;o well,</L>
<L>That agen to't they fell,</L>

<L>In's villany <HI>Brad&s;haw,</HI></L>
<L>Of con&s;tancy made &s;hew,</L>

<L>His life he &s;oon ended,</L>
