ADVICE TO A PAINTER . Long since Proposed for the CONCLUSION Of this Year 1688. By J. P. COme Painter , take a Prospect from this Hill , And on a well spread Canvass shew thy Skill ; Draw all in Colours as they shall Appear , And as they stand in Merit , place them there ; Draw , as the Heraulds do , a spacious Field , And as directed , so let them be Fill'd . First , draw a Popish Army , Brisk and Gay , Fighting and Beat , Destroy'd and Run away : Then draw a Hearse , and let it stand in View , The Mourners more , far more than is in shew ; Cursing their Fate , their Stars , and in this Fear , Shew , if thou canst , how these Damn'd Sots prepare To run away , or stay in Holes alone , By them this Motto , Gallows claim thy Own. Now , to the Life , let thy brisk Pencil shew Distinctly what they are , and what 's their Due . Now draw a Cloud , and Croud of Priests to Run , Like Broken Merchants , when their Stocks are gone : Some howling out their Prayers , forget and say , Save us , Saint Ketch , take all our Saints away : Draw them in Hurry , running too and Fro , Posting to Dover , Portsmouth , Tyburn To. Next draw a Croud of Lords ; This Label by Our great design is lost , Alas ! they cry , Who 'd serve a Cause of such curs'd Destiny ? Now draw four Priests , shew how they Rome Adore And each Man's Scarf hang to be seen Before , And of near kin unto the Scarlet Whore. Then draw Four Bishops falling to Despair , Arm'd Ca-pa-pe , but going God knows where ; That all who see it done , may say 't is well , Then draw the Judges there , with thy best Skill , In Caps and Gowns , as They in order sate , 'Twixt Heaven and Hell , do you them elevate , Their Learned Noddles can Dispence with that . Now draw the Little Rogues , the Scoundrel Crew , Knights , Knaves and Beggars , they must have their due , Gadbury , Butler , ay and Roger too . Amidst this Croud , on a fit spot of Land , To Crown the Work , let a large Gallows stand , All trembling by , arm'd with their Guilt and Fears , Kneel to this Image , and pour out their Prayers ,

And after Dye by Suffocation .
