To the Tune of, Packington's Pound.

I.

SEE the Vizor's pull'd off, and the Zelots are Arming,

For our old Egypt-Plagues the Whig Locuſts all Swarming.

The true Proteſtant Perkin, in Lightning has ſpoke,

And begins in a Flaſh to vaniſh in Smoke:

Little Jemmy's lanch'd o're

From the old Holland Shore,

Where Shaftsbury marcht to the Devil before.

The Old Game's a beginning; for High-Shoes & Clowns

Are turning State-Tinkers for mending of Crowns.

II.

Let his Deſperate Frenzy to ruine ſpur on;

The Rebel too late, and the Madman too ſoon.

But politick Noddles without Wit or Reaſon,

When empty of Brains have the more room for Treaſon.

Ambition bewitches,

Through Bogs and through Ditches,

Like a Will with a Wiſp: For the Baſtard Blood itches:

And the Bully ſets up, with his High-Shoes and Clowns,

A True Proteſtant Tinker for mending of Crowns.

III.

Let him banter Religion, that old Stale pretence,

For Traytors to mount on the Neck of their Prince.

But Clamor and Nonſence no longer ſhall fright us,

Our Wits are reſtored by the flogging of Titus.

Their Canting Deluſion,

And Bills of Excluſion,

No longer ſhall ſham the mad World to Confuſion.

The Old Cheat's too groſs, & no more Bores & Clowns

For perching on Thrones, and prophaning of Crowns.

IV.

So the Great Murder'd Charles, our Church, Freed [...] and La [...]

Were all Martyrs of old, to the Sanctified Cauſe.

Whilſt Goſpel and Heav'n were the popular Name,

The Firebrands of Hell were all ligh't from that Fla [...]

When that Kirk Bagpipe plays all the Devils Dan [...] roun [...]

But the Whining Tub Cheat ſhall no longer go dow [...]

No more Kings on Scaffolds, and Slaves on a Throne.

V.

The Impoſtor on one hand, and Traytor on t'other,

Set up his falſe Title, as crackt as his Mother.

But whilſt Peacock-proud,

He ſtruts and talks loud,

The Head of the Rabble, and Idol o'th' Crowd;

From his falſe borrow'd Plumes, & his hopes of a Cro [...]

To his black Feet below, let th' Aſpirer look down.

VI.

Then let him march on with his Politick Poll,

To perch up his Head by old Bradſhaw and Noll:

Whilſt the Deſperate Jehu is driving headlong,

To viſit the Reliques of Tommy Armſtrong.

For there's Vengeance a working,

To give him a Jerking,

And humble the Pride of the poor little Perkin.

Great JAMES his dread Thunder ſhall th' Idol pull [...]

Whilſt our Hands, Hearts, and Swords are all true to [...] Cr [...]

Creation

Created by converting TCP files to TEI P5 using tcp2tei.xsl, TEI @ Oxford.

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).
