A NEW SONG OF A New WONDER In the NORTH . FRom the farthermost part of the North we have News Of a man of some Note tha● receiv'd an Abuse : For a Dog to be toss'd in a Blanket , 't is known , But alas , what is that to the Maior of a Town ? For a great Magistrate To be us'd at that rate , All the World must allow It is very hard Fate . Ah! is it not strange ? amongst Wonders we rank it , That the Maior of a Town shou'd be toss'd in a Blanket . Had a drunken Tom Tinker the Pennance receiv'd , Or a Vintner for stumming his Wine , who 'd have griev'd ? Had they bolted a Baker for making light Bread , Or a Taylor for snipping a Yard for a Shred ; Had it been but a Tapster For Nicking and Frothing , Wee ' d been contented To take it for nothing . But as the case stands , who , alas ! do'n't resent it , And wish , now 't is done , that it might be prevented ? Diogenes was said once to live in a Tub , But a Tenement of Blanket is such an odd Jobb For a man of his Rank , we must study the Fact , Unless 't was to mind him of the late Woollen Act. However , 't was unkind In the midst of his State , So to trouble his thoughts With th' approaches of Fate . For men when advanc'd to the height of their Glory , Have something to dream on besides Purgatory . For a new Convert in Relick to be wrapt , To Secure him from danger , it often has happ'd ; But had this been such , in no Story we find A Maior to cut Capors like a Witch in the wind ; Sure there 's something exceeding Must cause this extream ; Yet if we dare take it , As Old Wifes do Dream , Unadvis'dly mistaking between waking and sleep He pounded the Parson instead of his Sheep : So in that cross humour they were forc'd for to shake him , To shew him his Errour as soon as they wak'd him . But now , to conclude , ah ! Heaven be thank it , The Maior had no harm that was toss'd in a Blanket .
