I.
Now
Whitehall's in the grave,
And our head is our slave,
The bright pearl in his close shell of oyster;
Now
the miter is lost,
The proud Praelates, too, crost,
And all Rome's confin'd to a cloister.
He, that
Tarquin was styl'd,
Our white land's exil'd,
Yea,
undefil'd;
Not a court ape's left to confute us;
Then let your voyces rise high,
As your colours did
flye,
And flour'shing cry:
Long live the brave
Oliver-Brutus.
II.
Now the sun is unarm'd,
And the moon by us charm'd,
All the stars dissolv'd
to a jelly;
Now the thighs of the Crown
And the
arms are lopp'd down,
And the body is all but a
belly.
Let the Commons go on,
The town is our own,
We'l rule alone:
For the Knights have yielded their
spent-gorge;
And an order is tane
With HONY SOIT
profane,
Shout forth amain:
For our Dragon hath
vanquish'd the St. George.
