A NEW-YEARS-GIFT FOR THE RUMP.

YOu may have heard of the Politique Snout,

Or a tale of a Tub, with the bottom out,

But scarce of a Parliament in a shitten clout.

Which no body can deny.

'Twas Atkins first serv'd this Rump in with Mustard,

The Sawce was a compound of Courage, and Custard;

Sr. Vane bless'd the Creature: Nollsnufled, and Bluster'd.

Which no body can deny.

The Right was as then, in Old Olivers Nose,

But when the Devil, of that did dispose,

It Descended from thence, to the Rump, in the Cloze.

Which no body can deny.

Nor is it likely there to stay long,

The Retentive faculties being gone,

The Juggle is stale, and Money there's none.

Which no body can deny.

The Secluded Members made a Trial

To Enter, but them the Rump did defy all,

By the Ordinance of Self-denial.

Which no body can deny.

Our Politique Doctors do us Teach,

That a Bloud-sucking Red-coat's as good as a Leech,

To Relieve the Head, if appli'd to the Breech.

Which no body can deny.

But never was such a worm as Vane;

When the State scour'd last, it voided him then,

Yet now he's crept into the Rump again.

VVhich no body can deny.

Ludlow's Fart, was a Phrophetique Trump:

(There never was any thing so Jump)

'Twas the very Type, of a vote of this Rump.

VVhich no body can deny.

They say 'tis good Luck, when a Body rises

With the Rump upward; but he that advises

to Live in that Posture, is none of the wisest.

Which no body can deny.

The Reason is worse, though the Rime be Untoward,

When things proceed with the wrong end Forward,

But they say their's sad news to the Rump, from the Nor'ward.

VVhich no body can deny.

'Tis a wonderfull thing the strength of that Part,

At a Blast, it will take you a Team from a Cart;

And Blow a mans Head away with a Fart.

VVhich no body can deny.

When our Brains are Sunck below the Middle,

And our Conscience steer'd by the hey down-Diddle,

Then things will go round without a Fiddle.

Which no body can deny.

You may Order the City with a Hand-Granado,

Or the General with a Bastonado,

But no way for a Rump like a Carbonado.

Which no body can deny.

To make us as famous in Council, as Wars,

Here's Lenthal, a Speaker for mine —

And Fleetwood is a man of Mars.

Which no body can deny.

'Tis pitty that Nedham's Fall'n into Disgrace,

For he Orders a Bumme with a marvellous Grace,

And ought to attend the Rump by his Place.

Which no body can deny.

Yet this in spight of all Disasters,

Although he hath Broken the Heads of his Masters,

'Tis still his Profession, to give 'em all Plasters.

VVhich no body can deny.

Let em cry down the Pope, till their Throats are sore,

Their design was to bring him in at the Back-door:

For the Rump ha's a mind to the scarlet whore.

VVhich no body can deny.

And this is a Truth at all hands confest,

However unskilfull in any of the rest,

The Rump speaks the Language of the Beast.

Which no body can deny.

They talk that Lambert is like to be try'd

For Treason, and Buggerie beside,

Because that he did the Rump bestride.

VVhich no body can deny.

The Rump's an old storie, if well understood

'Tis a thing dress'd up in a Parliaments Hood,

And like't, but the Tayl stands where the Heads should.

Which no body can deny.

'Twould make a man scratch, where it does not itch,

To see forty Fools Heads in one Politique Breech,

And That,—Hugging the Nation as the Devil did the witch.

VVhich no body can deny.

From rotten Members preserve our VVives:

From the mercie of a Rump, our Estates and our Lives:

For they must needs go, whom the Devil Drives.

VVhich no bodie can deny.

FINIS.

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).
