<HEAD>THE CLOAK'S KNAVERY.</HEAD>
<LG>
<L>COME buy my New Ballad,</L>
<L>I have't in my Wallet,</L>
<L>Tho twill not, I fear, plea&s;e every Palate:</L>
<L>Then mark what en&s;u'th,</L>
<L>For I &s;wear by my Youth,</L>
<L>That every Line in my Ballad is Truth:</L>
<L>A Ballad of Wit, a brave Ballad of Worth,</L>
<L>'Tis newly Printed and newly come Forth.</L>
<L>'Twas made of a Cloak that fell out with the Gown,</L>
</LG>
<LG TYPE="refrain">
<L>That cramp'd all the <HI>Kingdom</HI> and crippl'd the <HI>Crown.</HI></L>
</LG>
<LG>
<L>Ill tell you in Brief</L>
<L>A Story of Grief</L>
<L>That happen'd when Cloak was Commander in Chief:</L>
<L>It tore Common- Pray'rs,</L>
<L>Impri&s;on'd Lord Mayors,</L>
<L>In one Day it voted down Prelates and Play'rs,</L>
<L>It made People perjur'd in Point of Obedience,</L>
<L>And the Cov'nant did cut off the Oath of Allegiance.</L>
</LG>
<LG TYPE="refrain">
<L>Then let us endeavour to pull the <HI>Cloak</HI> down,</L>
<L>That cramp'd, <HI>&amp;c.</HI></L>
</LG>
<LG>
<L>It was a Black Cloak,</L>
<L>In good Time be it &s;poke</L>
<L>It kill'd many Thou&s;ands, but never &s;truck Stroke;</L>
<L>With Hatchet and Rope,</L>
<L>The forlorn Hope,</L>
<L>It join'd with the Devil to pull down the Pope;</L>
<L>It &s;et all the Sects in the City to Work,</L>
<L>And rather than fail 'twould have brought in the Turk.</L>
</LG>
<LG TYPE="refrain">
<L>Then let us Endeavour, <HI>&amp;c.</HI></L>
</LG>
<LG>
<L>It Seiz'd on the Tow'r Guns,</L>
<L>Tho&s;e fierce Demi-gorgons,</L>
<L>It &s;et up the Bag-pipes, but pull'd down the Organs,</L>
<L>The Pulpits did Smoak,</L>
<L>Our church it did Choak,</L>
<L>And all our Religion was turned to a Cloak;</L>
<L>It brought in lay Elders could not Write or Read:</L>
<L>It &s;et publick Faith up, but pull'd down the Creed;</L>
</LG>
<LG TYPE="refrain">
<L>Then let us endeavour, <HI>&amp;c.</HI></L>
</LG>
<LG>
<L>This Pious Impo&s;tor</L>
<L>Such Fury did Fo&s;ter,</L>
<L>It left us no Penny nor no Pater No&s;ter;</L>
<L>It threw to the Ground</L>
<L>Ten Commandments down,</L>
<L>And &s;et up twice Twenty Times Ten of its own:</L>
<L>It routed the King and Villains elected</L>
<L>To plunder all tho&s;e whom they thought Di&s;affected</L>
</LG>
<LG TYPE="refrain">
<L>Then let us Endeavour, <HI>&amp;c</HI></L>
</LG>
<LG>
<L>To blind Peoples Eyes</L>
<L>This Cloak was &s;o Wi&s;e,</L>
<L>It took off Ship Money, but &s;et up Exci&s;e:</L>
<L>Men brought in their Plate</L>
<L>For Rea&s;ons of State</L>
<L>And gave it to Tom Trumpete<GAP DESC="illegible" EXTENT="1 letter"> and his Mate:</L>
<L>In Pamphlets it wrote many &s;pecious Epi&s;tles</L>
<L>To Couzen poor Wenches of Bodkins and Whi&s;tles.</L>
</LG>
<LG TYPE="refrain">
<L>Then let us Endeavour, <HI>&amp;c.</HI></L>
</LG>
<LG>
<L>In Pulpits it moved,</L>
<L>And was much Approved</L>
<L>For Crying out, Fight the <GAP DESC="illegible" EXTENT="1 span"> Battles beloved;</L>
<L>It Bobtail'd the Gown,</L>
<L>Pull'd Prelacy down,</L>
<L>It trode on the Mitre to reach at the Crown;</L>
<L>And into the Field it an Army did bring</L>
<L>To aim at the Council but &s;hoot at the King.</L>
</LG>
<LG TYPE="refrain">
<L>Then let us Endeavour, <HI>&amp;c.</HI></L>
</LG>
<LG>
<L>It rai&s;ed up States</L>
<L>Who&s;e Politick Pates</L>
<L>Do now keep their Quarters on our City Gates;</L>
<L>To Father and Mother</L>
<L>To Si&s;ter and Brother</L>
<L>It gave a Commi&s;&s;ion to kill one another:</L>
<L>It took up Men's Hor&s;es at very low Rates</L>
<L>And Plunder'd our Goods to &s;e<GAP DESC="illegible" EXTENT="1 letter">ure our E&s;tates.</L>
</LG>
<LG TYPE="refrain">
<L>Then let us Endeavour, <HI>&amp;c.</HI></L>
</LG>
<LG>
<L>This Cloak did proceed</L>
<L>To a Damnable Deed,</L>
<L>It made the be&s;t Mirrour of Maje&s;ty Bleed:</L>
<L>Tho' Cloak did not do't</L>
<L>It &s;et it on Foot</L>
<L>By rallying and calling his Journey Men to't:</L>
<L>For never had come &s;uch a bl<GAP DESC="illegible" EXTENT="2 letters">dy Di&s;a&s;ter</L>
<L>If Cloak had not fir&s;t drawn a Sword at his Ma&s;ter.</L>
</LG>
<LG TYPE="refrain">
<L>Then let us Endeavour, <HI>&amp;c.</HI></L>
</LG>
<LG>
<L>Tho &s;ome of 'em went hence</L>
<L>By &s;orrowful Sentence,</L>
<L>This lofty long Cloak is not mov'd to Repentance;</L>
<L>But he and his Men,</L>
<L>Twenty Thou&s;and times Ten,</L>
<L>Are Ploting to do their Tricks over again:</L>
<L>But let this proud Cloak to Authority &s;toop,</L>
<L>Or Catch will provide him a Button and Loop,</L>
</LG>
<LG TYPE="refrain">
<L>For we'll ever endeavour, <HI>&amp;c.</HI></L>
