Iustice in Masquerade , A POEM . A Butcher's Son 's J — Capital , Poor Protestants for to enthrall , And England to enslave Sirs . Lose both our Laws and Lives we must , When to do Justice we intrust So known an Errant K — Sirs . Some hungry Priests he did once fell , With mighty stroaks , and them to Hell Sent presently away Sirs . Would you know why , the reason 's plain , They had no English nor French Coin , To make a longer stay Sirs . The Pope to Purgatory sends , Who neither Money have nor Friends , In this he is not alone Sirs . Four our J — to Mercy 's not enclin'd , Less Gold change Conscience and his minde , You are infallibly gone Sirs . His Father once exempted was Out of all Juries , why ? Because He was a Man of Blood Sirs . And why the butcherly Son , forsooth , Should now be Jury and J — both , Cannot be understood Sirs . The good Old Man with Knife and Knocks , Made harmless Sheep and stubborn Ox , Stoop to him in his Fury . But the brib'd Son , like greasy Aulf , Kneels down and Worships Golden Calf ; And so does all the Jury . Better thou had'st been at thy Fathers Trade , An honest lively-hood to have made , Im hamp'ring Bulls with Collers : Than to thy Country prove unjust , First sell , and then betray thy trust , For so many hard Rixdollers . Priest and Physician thou didst save , From Gallows , Fire and from the Grave , For which we can't endure thee . The one can ne're absolve thy sins , And th' other , though he now begins , Of Knavery ne're can Cure thee . But lest we all should end his life , And with a keen-whet Chopping knife , In a Thousand peices cleave him : Let the Parliament first him undertake , They 'l make the Rascal stink at stake , And so like a K — let 's leave him .
