It now beginning to grow towards night, Marriage made a Church action by Evariſtu • ▪ Comes a grave Doctor running in with might, His courage ſtout was ſomething now abated, He brings his golden Slippers, conſecrated, And crys, come buy theſe Slippers here of mine, They are emboſſ'd with Holines Divine; They will in all your wayes preſerve you ſound, And with them you may tread on holy Ground, They'r fild with Holineſſe within, and round about, Here looke upon them, ſee how't breaketh out. What all paſſe by? 'tis ſtrange time turns her wheell, And bends her borw upon us, that we feell, No handſaile yet, our ware's becharmed ſure, And (like our ſelves) there's none will it indure, It's doom'd to diſmall fate, deſpiſ'd and ſcorn'd, Though nev'r ſo coſtly, or ſo much adorn'd; Here's owne venale, yet no money flies, Our Ware's dog-cheape, and thus our credit dies: For ſuch a Fayre I never did behold, We bring our Ware, but nothing can be ſold: I wonder ſaid one, what was our intent, To make our Fayre thus at the Parliament. For we are mocked here by ſawcy Jacks, They bid the Pedl • rs to put up their Packs: We thought our ware would ſould at ſuch a price, And of our hands been vented in a trice, That this laſt Act upon the Engliſh Stage Would 'forded money for our Pilgrimage. To Babylon the Great: How'ere we dream'd no leſſe Then Ranſom for his 'priſoned Holineſſe: But he, nor we, muſt in this Lambeth Faire Get helpe I ſee by this our Popiſh Ware. Whilſt thus the Biſhops there, their guts, and they, Cald to their Cuſtomers to come away: A Meſſenger came running through the croud, And to the Biſhops thus he ſpake aloud, Away to Rome or T … chuſe you whether, I know your ſhooes are made of running leather: For all the Lawes oth' Land, you have out-ruo, And I come here to tell you what is done, The Parliament hath caſt you from their Spheare, For dire Aſpects that yee have cauſed there, Ye are devoted and from thence are hurl'd And lie like Starres ſhot on the lower world; Your ware's not worth a fart for all your cogging, See where the Hangman comes away, be jogging; Then comes young Gregory with an Hempen Broome, To ſweep theſe Vermin to the Sea of Rome; A Broome ſaid I? my tongue it ſurely falters, 'Twas Tiburne hung with ſix and twentie Halters, Which ſcar'd them all to ſee that hard miſhap, They'd rather ten times ſeen a Cornerd Cap. With that the Biſhops cri'd we are undone, we are ſo fatt, alas we cannot run. But unto them a luſtie Porter ſtruts, Sirs here's a Basket that will hold your Guts; Take my adviſe, (the knave hath Halters plentie) You'l run the better when your bellie's emptie. Alas cry'd they, is all-our labour loſſe? Others get money, we have but the Croſſe! For we are croſſed in our expedition, And flie we muſt, for all our late Petition, Yet notwithſtanding herein lies our hope, We ſhall be entertained by the Pope. With that like men of Sences quite bereft, They trold away and all their trinckets left, A friend of mine to me did then repaire, Deſiring me, to pen this famous Fayr, Which I have done▪ and have it here to ſell; Come buy the Fayre of me, and ſo farewell.
