A RA-REE SHOW.

To the Tune of I am a Senceless Thing.

Leviathan.

COme hither, Topham, come, with a hey, with a hey,

Bring a Pipe and a Drum, with a ho,

Where e're about I go,

Attend my Ra-ree show,

With a hey, Trany nony nony no.

Topham.

That monstrous Foul Beast, with a hey, with a hey,

Has Houses Twain in's Chest, with a ho,

O Cooper, Hughs and Snow,

Stop Thief with Ra-ree Show,

With a hey, Trany nony nony no.

For if he should escape, with a hey, with a hey,

With Halifaxes Trap with a ho,

He'd carry good Dom. Com.

Unto the Pope of Rome,

With a hey, Trany nony nony no.

Levi.

Be quiet ye Dull Tools, with a hey, with a hey,

As other Free-born Fools with a ho,

Do not all Gaping stand,

To see my Slight of Hand?

With a hey, Trany nony nony no.

'Tis not to Rome that I, with a hey, with a hey,

Lugg about my Trumpery, with a ho,

But Oxford, York, Carlile,

And round about the Isle,

With a hey, Trany nony nony no.

But if they would come out, with a hey, with a hey,

Let them first make a Vote, with a ho,

To yield up all they have,

And Tower Lords to save,

With a hey, Trany nony nony no.

Top.

Now that is very hard, with a hey, with a hey,

Thou art worse than Cut-nose Guard, with a ho,

And Clifford, Danby, Hide,

Hallifax does all outride,

With a hey, Trany nony nony no.

Holy Ghost in Bagg of Cloak, with a hey, with a hey,

Quaking King in hollow Oak, with a ho,

And Rosamond in Bower,

All Badges are of Power,

With a hey, Trany nony nony no.

And Popularity, with a hey, with a hey,

Adds Power to Majesty, with a ho,

But Dom. Com. in little Ease,

Will all the World Displease,

With a hey, Trony nony nony no.

Levi.

Let 'um hate so they fear, with a hey, with a hey,

Curst Fox has the best Chear, with a ho,

Two States in Blind-house pent,

Make brave strong Government,

With a hey, Trany nony nony no.

Top.

But Child of Heathen Hobbs, with a hey, with a hey,

Remember old Dry Bobbs, with a ho,

For Fleecing Englands Flocks,

Long Fed with Bits and Knocks,

With a hey, Trany nony nony no.

Levi.

What's past, is not to come, with a hey, with a hey,

Now Safe is David's Bum, with a ho,

Then hey for Oxford ho,

Strong Government, Ra-ree Show,

With a hey, Trany nony nony no.

Ra-ree Show is Resoul'd, with a hey, with a hey,

This is worse than Disoul'd, with a ho,

May the mighty weight at's back

Make's Lecherous Loyns to crack,

With a hey, Trany nony nony no.

Me-thinks he seems to Stagger, with a hey, with a hey,

Who but now did so Swagger, with a ho,

Gods-Fish he's Stuck i'th' Mire,

And all the Fat's i'th' Fire,

With a hey, Trany nony nony no.

Help Cooper, Hughs, and Snow, with a hey, with a hey,

To pull down Ra-ree Show, with a ho,

So, So, the Gyant's down,

Let's Masters out of Pound,

With a hey, Trany nony nony no.

And now you have freed the Nation, with a hey, with a hey,

Cram in the Convocation, with a ho,

With Pensioners all and Some,

Into this Chest of Rome,

With a hey, Trany nony nony no,

And thrust in six and Twenty, with a hey, with a hey,

With Not Guilty, good plenty, with a ho,

And hout them hence away,

To Cologne or Breda,

With a hey, Trany nony nony no.

Ha-loo the Hunts begun, with a hey, with a hey,

Like Father, Like Son, with a ho,

Ra-ree Show in French-Lap,

Is gone to take a Nap,

And Successor has the Clap,

With a hey, Trany nony nony no.

Editorial practices

EEBO-TCP is a partnership between the Universities of Michigan and Oxford and the publisher ProQuest to create accurately transcribed and encoded texts based on the image sets published by ProQuest via their Early English Books Online (EEBO) database (http://eebo.chadwyck.com). The general aim of EEBO-TCP is to encode one copy (usually the first edition) of every monographic English-language title published between 1473 and 1700 available in EEBO.

EEBO-TCP aimed to produce large quantities of textual data within the usual project restraints of time and funding, and therefore chose to create diplomatic transcriptions (as opposed to critical editions) with light-touch, mainly structural encoding based on the Text Encoding Initiative (http://www.tei-c.org).

The EEBO-TCP project was divided into two phases. The 25,363 texts created during Phase 1 of the project have been released into the public domain as of 1 January 2015. Anyone can now take and use these texts for their own purposes, but we respectfully request that due credit and attribution is given to their original source.

Users should be aware of the process of creating the TCP texts, and therefore of any assumptions that can be made about the data.

Text selection was based on the New Cambridge Bibliography of English Literature (NCBEL). If an author (or for an anonymous work, the title) appears in NCBEL, then their works are eligible for inclusion. Selection was intended to range over a wide variety of subject areas, to reflect the true nature of the print record of the period. In general, first editions of a works in English were prioritized, although there are a number of works in other languages, notably Latin and Welsh, included and sometimes a second or later edition of a work was chosen if there was a compelling reason to do so.

Image sets were sent to external keying companies for transcription and basic encoding. Quality assurance was then carried out by editorial teams in Oxford and Michigan. 5% (or 5 pages, whichever is the greater) of each text was proofread for accuracy and those which did not meet QA standards were returned to the keyers to be redone. After proofreading, the encoding was enhanced and/or corrected and characters marked as illegible were corrected where possible up to a limit of 100 instances per text. Any remaining illegibles were encoded as <gap>s. Understanding these processes should make clear that, while the overall quality of TCP data is very good, some errors will remain and some readable characters will be marked as illegible. Users should bear in mind that in all likelihood such instances will never have been looked at by a TCP editor.

The texts were encoded and linked to page images in accordance with level 4 of the TEI in Libraries guidelines.

Copies of the texts have been issued variously as SGML (TCP schema; ASCII text with mnemonic sdata character entities); displayable XML (TCP schema; characters represented either as UTF-8 Unicode or text strings within braces); or lossless XML (TEI P5, characters represented either as UTF-8 Unicode or TEI g elements).
