The Ignoramus Ballad . To the Tune of , Let Oliver now be Forgotten . 1. LEt Fourty eight now be remember'd , And what was then Acted behold ; The High Court of Justice is tender'd To cast our Fate in the same Mold . All things are prepared and ready , The Faction Constant and steady , At Moments call , T' appear ne'r dread ye ; And all the Proud Tories shall fall . 2. Behold a whole Colledge is coming , In Equipage like to Sir Hue ; With Anger and Courage he 's Foaming , With Colours of Orange and Blew . The Dray-mans Horse he has mounted , And no small Fool is accounted Amongst the Rabble , He Swears th' Anointed He 'l tumble down now like a Babel . 3. With Blunderbuss , Sword and with Pistol , With Powder and Bullet likewise ; By Treason and Force to resist all , He doubts not of winning the Prize : The King he will bring to his Lure , Or else take him Prisoner be Sure , Unto Guildhall ; Where he shall Endure , Till he yield to the Parliaments ALL. 4. But God , our Soveraign's Protector , Against all his Enemies Train , His timely Reveal'd the Projector , And render'd their Plotting as Vain : The Parliament soon He Dissolved , Preventing our being Involved , In the Old Snare , As 't was Resolved ; You see what such Traytors will dare . 5. When Blunderbuss first was Accused , And unto the Tower was sent ; The Jury of Rebels refused , To find him , as 't was their Intent . But Honester men there were found out , Resolving , so to bring it about To find the Bill , By giving the Rout To all Ignoramus his Skill . 6. And now he is brought to his Tryal , And Guilty of Treason is found ; Yet he had the Face to Deny-all , There 's nought can his Treason Confound : Old Nick's at his Elbow still Pressing , And Frightens him from his Confessing : He has no Hope , By any Addressing , To shelter his Neck from the Rope . 7 Now W — e , that Hogshead of Treason , With his Ignoramus , comes next ; Whose Jury I think will find Reason , T' Invalid his Specious pretext . The Idol ( he says ) must be pull'd down Of Whitehall , with His Scepter and Crown : A Hector Bold , Though seeming to Frown , His Courage will quickly be Cold. 8. Now D — ld's come to the Trapp too ▪ For Falsely Suborning to Swear ; Great Lucifer's Chaplain is napt too , And 's Drawer must bring up the Reer : The Parson may Preach in the Manger , To free them all from the Danger ; But all in Vain , Believe me , ( a Stranger , ) The Hangman must open a Vein .
