A Prophetick LAMPOON , Made Anno 1659.

By his Grace George Duke of Buckingham : Relating to what would happen to the GOVERNMENT under KING CHARLES II.

To the Tune Which no body can deny .

WHen Plate was at Pawn , and the Fob at an ebb , And the Spider might weave in our Stomacks its webb , Our Stomacks as empty as Brain , Then CHARLES without Acre , made a Vow to his Maker , If e're he saw England again : I 'le have a Religion , all of mine own , Whether Papist , or Protestant , shall not be known , But if it prove troublesome , I will have none . I 'le have a fine Parliament , alwayes to friend , Shall fit me with Treasure , as fast as I spend , And if they will not , they shall have an end . I 'le have as good Bishops as e're made with hands , With Consciences flexible to my Commands , And if they will not , I 'le have all their Lands . I 'le have a fine Chancellor shall bear all the sway , But if they do murmure , I 'le take him away , Yet bring him back agen as soon as I may . I 'le have a Privy Council shall alwayes sit still , I 'le have a fine Juncto shall do what they will , I 'le have two fine Secretary's piss thro a Quill . I 'le have a Privy Purse without controwle , Shall alwayes wink when my Revenue is stole , If any be question'd , I 'le answer the whole . I 'le have a New London , instead of the Old , With wide Streets , and uniform to my own Mold , And if they build too fast , I 'le soon make them hold . I 'le have a fine Son , in making tho marr'd , Shall Reign , if not o're my Kingdoms , o're my Guard , And shall Successor be , if not to me , to Gerrard . But what'ere it cost me , I 'le have a fine Whore , As Bold as Alice Pierce , as Fine as Jane Shore , And when I am weary of her , I 'le have more . My Pimp I 'le make my Minister Primeir , My Baud shall Ambassadors send far and near , My Wench shall dispose of my Conge Deleir . I 'le have a fine Pond , with a pretty Decoy , Where the Ducks and the Drakes , shall their Freedom enjoy , And in their own Language , quack Vive le Roy. FINIS .
