<L>WHat ailes this <HI>bauling Puppy</HI> thus to prate?</L>
<L>I think the <HI>Genius</HI> of <HI>Billings-gate</HI></L>
<L>Hath lately <HI>crept</HI> into his <HI>Soul;</HI> Alas!</L>
<L>That <HI>City Dogs</HI> &s;hould <HI>bait</HI> the <HI>country A&s;&s;e?</HI></L>
</LG>
<LG>
<L>And doth the <HI>bea&s;t</HI> &s;tand <HI>&s;ilent</HI> while&s;t this <HI>Proctor</HI></L>
<L>For <HI>Earl</HI> and <HI>Balaam,</HI> wich the bu&s;y <HI>Doctor</HI></L>
<L><HI>derk</HI> his <HI>dull &s;ides;</HI> and not &s;o much as <HI>Kick</HI></L>
<L>The <HI>Sexton,</HI> nor the <HI>Pi&s;s-pot Emperick?</HI></L>
<L>'Tis &s;trange he <HI>&s;peaks</HI> not, Is his back &s;o <HI>&s;trong</HI></L>
<L>To <HI>bear abu&s;es</HI> that he holds his <HI>tongue?</HI></L>
</LG>
<LG>
<L>Come, I'le b' his <HI>Oratour</HI> for in &s;ome <HI>ca&s;es</HI></L>
<L>The <HI>Lawyers</HI> u&s;e to <HI>plead</HI> for none but <HI>A&s;&s;es.</HI></L>
</LG>
<LG>
<L>Now what &s;ayes <HI>Chamberlain</HI> that <HI>Pamplet-monger,</HI></L>
<L>What do&s;t thou tell the <HI>&s;illy A&s;&s;e</HI> of <HI>Hunger,</HI></L>
<L>Should he (<HI>like thee</HI> turn <HI>Pari&s;h-Clark,</HI> and <HI>cozen</HI></L>
<L>Poor Souls, and <HI>&s;ell</HI> his <HI>Prayers &s;ix pence a Dozen,</HI></L>
<L><HI>Dine</HI> upon <HI>Midwifes fees,</HI> and <HI>grea&s;e</HI> his <HI>chaps</HI></L>
<L>With <HI>Go&s;&s;ips charity</HI> and <HI>Female Scraps,</HI></L>
<L>Then would his <HI>Panch</HI> like thine be quickly fraught;</L>
<L>And Men would &s;ay, <HI>he's better fed then taught.</HI></L>
</LG>
<LG>
<L>Thou Prei&s;t in <HI>Ginger bread,</HI> &s;hould he but <HI>plead</HI></L>
<L>For <HI>Drunken &s;ots</HI> that cannot <HI>Preach</HI> but <HI>read</HI></L>
<L>Such as thy &s;elf, O then the <HI>foul-mouth'd whelp</HI></L>
<L>Would <HI>fawn</HI> upon the <HI>A&s;&s;e,</HI> and cea&s;e to <HI>yelp.</HI></L>
<L>Then peace thou <HI>Iournyman</HI> 'oth <HI>Reading pew</HI></L>
<L>Tell us not of a <HI>Giddy-headed</HI> crew</L>
<L>Or Sick-brain'd <HI>Sectaries</HI> for all men know</L>
<L>'Twas &s;uch as <HI>Chamberlain</HI> that made them &s;o;</L>
<L><HI>Dumb Dogs</HI> drive out their <HI>Parri&s;hes,</HI> to Roam;</L>
<L>He needs mu&s;t <HI>leg</HI> that hath no <HI>bread</HI> at <HI>home,</HI></L>
</LG>
<LG>
<L>But &s;tay I know what Sir Iohn doth intend,</L>
<L>He'd have the <HI>Bi&s;hops</HI> take him for their <HI>freind;</HI></L>
<L>Devills pretences, always were divine; <NOTE PLACE="marg">I wi&s;h it be not &s;o in Cornhill.</NOTE></L>
<L><HI>A knave may have an Angl&ecirc; for his Sign;</HI></L>
<L>But <HI>Reader</HI> take it on a <HI>Chri&s;tians</HI> word,</L>
<L>When &s;uch men <HI>ki&s;s</HI> they'l &s;oon <HI>betray</HI> their <HI>Lord;</HI></L>
</LG>
<LG>
<L>But &s;tay what means the <HI>Docter?</HI> has he left</L>
<L>His <HI>Legall murther</HI> and his <HI>Veniall theft,</HI></L>
<L>His plotting with his <HI>Drugge&s;t</HI> and the <HI>Nur&s;e,</HI></L>
<L>Not for to <HI>purge</HI> the <HI>body</HI> but the <HI>pur&s;e.</HI></L>
<L>And turn'd a <HI>Satyri&s;t?</HI> Ide thoug<GAP DESC="illegible" EXTENT="1 letter">t the man</L>
<L>Had been confind unto a <HI>Cl<GAP DESC="illegible" EXTENT="1 letter">&s;e-&s;tole Pan,</HI></L>
<L>But 'tis a mad world, when <HI>Hell</HI> breaks loo&s;e and he</L>
<L>That is a <HI>Quack,</HI> talks of <HI>Divinity;</HI></L>
<L>Then leave your &s;cribling <HI>Sirrah</HI> &s;end your <HI>ver&s;es</HI></L>
<L>Unto your <HI>Patients</HI> to wipe their A&mdash;</L>
<L>The <HI>A&s;&s;es Author</HI> &s;corns to <HI>&s;troak</HI> your <HI>Beard,</HI></L>
<L>Hee'l <HI>foul</HI> his <HI>hands</HI> that meddles with a T&mdash;</L>
<L>Heaven keep this City from <HI>Quack&s;alving Knaves,</HI></L>
<L>That &s;end <HI>&s;ound men</HI> to their <HI>untimely graves.</HI></L>
</LG>
<LG>
<L>Here did I think to make an end, but hark,</L>
<L>I have one <HI>word</HI> more to the <HI>Parri&s;h-Clerk;</HI></L>
<L>Let <HI>Preachers</HI> &s;ay <HI>God &s;ave King Charles,</HI> and then,</L>
<L>'Twill be your Cue <HI>Sir Clerk</HI> to &s;ay, Amen.</L>
