<HEAD>Sir T. J's SPEECH TO HIS Wife and Children.</HEAD>
<LG N="1">
<HEAD>I.</HEAD>
<L>DEar Wife, let me have a good Fire made,</L>
<L>I'll tell you &s;uch News will make you all glad,</L>
<L>The like for another is &s;carce to be had.</L>
<L><HI>This it is to be Learned and Witty.</HI></L>
</LG>
<LG N="2">
<HEAD>II.</HEAD>
<L>Fir&s;t, (Butler, do you a Gla&s;s of Wine bring,)</L>
<L>I'll tell you all the great Love of my King,</L>
<L>Which is a dainty, curious, fine thing.</L>
<L><HI>This it is,</HI> &amp;c.</L>
</LG>
<LG N="3">
<HEAD>III.</HEAD>
<L>A Wi&s;e Learned Serjeant at Law I was made,</L>
<L>And a dainty fine Coif was put on my Head,</L>
<L>Which is heavier far than a Hundred of Lead.</L>
<L><HI>This it is,</HI> &amp;c.</L>
</LG>
<LG N="4">
<HEAD>IV.</HEAD>
<L>But &s;oon after this I was made the Recorder,</L>
<L>To keep the Wor&s;hipful Rabble in order,</L>
<L>And wore a red Gown with long Sleeves and Border.</L>
<L><HI>This it is,</HI> &amp;c.</L>
</LG>
<LG N="5">
<HEAD>V.</HEAD>
<L>What Ju&s;tice I did, my dear Wife, you can tell;</L>
<L>Right or wrong, I &s;par'd none, like the Devil in Hell;</L>
<L>But, Guilty or not, I &s;ent all to <HI>Bridewell.</HI></L>
<L><HI>This it is,</HI> &amp;c.</L>
</LG>
<LG N="6">
<HEAD>VI.</HEAD>
<L>Unle&s;s it were tho&s;e who grea&s;ed my Fi&s;t,</L>
<L>To them I gave licen&s;e to cheat whom they li&s;t,</L>
<L>(For 'twas only tho&s;e my <HI>Mittimus</HI> mi&s;s'd.)</L>
<L><HI>This it is,</HI> &amp;c.</L>
</LG>
<LG N="7">
<HEAD>VII.</HEAD>
<L>But then the King dy'd, which cau&s;ed a pother;</L>
<L>So I went to condole with the new King, his Brother,</L>
<L>With <HI>Sorrow</HI> in one hand, and <HI>Grief</HI> in the other.</L>
<L><HI>This it is,</HI> &amp;c.</L>
</LG>
<LG N="8">
<HEAD>VIII.</HEAD>
<L>For an Ignorant Judge I was call'd by the King</L>
<L>To the <HI>Chequer-Court,</HI> 'tis a wonderful thing,</L>
<L>Of which in &s;hort time the whole Nation did ring.</L>
<L><HI>This it is to be Learned and Witty.</HI></L>
</LG>
<LG N="9">
<HEAD>IX.</HEAD>
<L>By Great <HI>James</HI> I was rais'd to the <HI>Common-Pleas</HI> Bench,</L>
<L>'Cau&s;e he &s;aw I had exqui&s;ite Politick Sen&s;e,</L>
<L>Which his Wi&s;dom perceiv'd in the Future Ten&s;e.</L>
<L><HI>This it is,</HI> &amp;c.</L>
</LG>
<LG N="10">
<HEAD>X.</HEAD>
<L>At <HI>Sarum</HI> Five Hundred Pounds I have gotten,</L>
<L>To &s;ave Malefactors from &s;winging in Cotten,</L>
<L>For which they we hang'd, and now almo&s;t rotten.</L>
<L><HI>This it is,</HI> &amp;c.</L>
</LG>
<LG N="11">
<HEAD>XI.</HEAD>
<L>But now, my dear Love, comes the Cream of the Je&s;t,</L>
<L>For the King would take off the <HI>Oaths</HI> and the <HI>Te&s;t;</HI></L>
<L>Which I told all his People would be for the be&s;t.</L>
<L><HI>This it is,</HI> &amp;c.</L>
</LG>
<LG N="12">
<HEAD>XII.</HEAD>
<L>He had my Opinion, That 'twas in his Power</L>
<L>To de&s;troy all the Laws in le&s;s time than an hour,</L>
<L>For which I may chance to be &s;ent to the <HI>Tower.</HI></L>
<L><HI>This it is,</HI> &amp;c.</L>
</LG>
<LG N="13">
<HEAD>XIII.</HEAD>
<L>And now to <HI>Magdalen-</HI>Colledge I come,</L>
<L>Where we turn'd out mo&s;t, but kept in &s;ome,</L>
<L>That &s;o a New Colledge of Prie&s;ts might have room</L>
<L><HI>This it is,</HI> &amp;c.</L>
</LG>
<LG N="14">
<HEAD>XIV.</HEAD>
<L>And &s;o by that means we left the door ope,</L>
<L>To turn out the Bi&s;hops, and let in the Pope,</L>
<L>For which we have ju&s;tly de&s;erved a Rope.</L>
<L><HI>This it is to be Learned and Witty.</HI></L>
