UPON TITVS : To the Tune of , Hail to the Mirtle Shade . ALL Hail to the Chief of the Post , To Titus the Saint of the Town , Titus who vainly doth boast Of a Salamanca Gown : Titus , who saw the World round , From his Tower at Valladolid , From Mounsieur Le Chese the Seas o're , To the White Horse Tavern Deed. Hail Titus at Watton in May , And Titus at Islington , Titus , the self same day Both here and there again : Titus , that never swore truth in the Court , His Plot for to maintain ; Nor ne're could be positive for 't , When call'd to the Test again . Then Titus was meekest of all , When never a penny in 's Purse , He oft upon Pickering did call , His Charity to disburse . But when he made false most damnable Oaths , And lying no Sin , Then Titus was one of those , Whom the Devil had entred in . Titus , the Frowns of Heaven , And Titus a Plague upon Earth : Titus ne're to be forgiven , But curs'd in his fatal Birth : Titus the Scourge and bane of the Poor , And Just Man too — O Titus thou Son of a W — What ( a Plague ! ) dost thou mean to do . FINIS .
