To the Tune of, To drive the cold Winter away.

NOw the Rump is confounded,

There's an end, of the Roundhead,

Who hath been ſuch a bane to our Nation,

He hath now plaid his part,

And's gone out, like a fart,

Together with his reformation,

For by his good favour,

He hath left a bad ſavour,

But's no matter, wee'l truſt Him no more;

Kings and Queens may appear

Once again in our Sphere,

Now the Knaves are turn'd out of door.

And drive the cold Winter away.

Scot, Nevil, and Vane,

With the reſt of that train,

Are into Oceana fled,

Sir Arthur, the brave,

That's as arrant a Knave,

Has Harringtons Rota in's head,

But hee's now full of cares

For his Foals, and his Mares,

As when he was routed before:

But I think he deſpairs,

By his Arms, or his Prayers,

To ſet up the Rump any more.

And drive the cold Winter away.

I ſhould never have thought,

That a Monk could have wrought

Such a reformation ſo ſoon;

That Houſe, which of late

Was the Jaques of our State,

Will ere long, be a Houſe of renown;

How good Wits did jump,

In abuſing the Rump,

Whilſt the Houſe was preſs'd by the Rabble;

But our Hercules Monk,

Though it grievouſly ſtunk,

Now hath cleans'd that Augcean-ſtable.

And drive the cold Winter away.

And now Mr. Prynne,

With the reſt may come in,

And take their places again,

For the Houſe is made ſweet,

For thoſe Members to meet,

Though part of the Rump yet remain,

Nor need they to fear,

Though his Breeches be there,

Which were wrong'd both behind and before,

For he faith, 'twas a Chance,

And forgive him this once,

And he ſwears, he will do ſo no more.

And drive the cold Winter away.

Tis true there are ſome,

Who are ſtill for the Bum,

Such Tares will grow up with the Wheat,

And there they will be, till a Parliament come,

That can give them a total defeat:

But yet I am told,

That the Rumpers do hold,

That the Saints may ſwim with the tyde;

Nor can it be Treaſon,

But Scripture and reaſon,

Still to cloſe with the ſtronger ſide.

And drive the cold Winter away.

Thoſe Lawyers 'oth Houſe,

As Baron Wild-gooſe,

With treaſon, Hill, Whitlock, and Say,

Were the bane of our Laws,

And our Good Old Cauſe,

And 'twere well if ſuch were away.

Some more there are to blame,

Whom I care not to name,

That are Men of the very ſame ranks,

'Mongſt whom there is one,

That to Devil Barebone,

For his ugly Petition gave thanks.

And drive the cold Winter away.

But I hope by this time,

Hee'l confeſs 'twas a crime,

To abet ſuch a damnable Crew,

Whoſe Petition was drawn,

By Alcoran Vane,

Or elſe by Corbet the Few:

By it you may know,

What the Rump meant to do,

And what a Religion to frame;

So 'twas time for St. George,

That Rump to diſgorge,

And to ſend it from whence it firſt came, &c.

Then drive the cold Winter away.

Funis for the Rump's Finis.

⟨March 7 1659.⟩

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).
