Toney's Soliloquies . To the Tune of Dagons Fall . Or the Lamentation of a Bad Market . WHen the Plot I first invented , I was ravisht in conceit , To see its Frame so well cemented , Varnish'd over with Deceit It was an infant of my Spirit , Nay , the Darling of my Soul , If its contrivance be a Merit , By Jove the Cooper did well Boul. II. For to give this Engine Motion , To arrive where it did tend , I fill'd the Vulgar ears with ' Notions , The Gospel of my Oaten Friend ; I antedated all Transactions , Distinguisht Stiles to New and Old , In the State I made such Fractions ; Some I Bought , and some I Sold. III. The Mobile I so distemper'd , With the Magick of my Care , None but wou'd his Soul have ventur'd , Where brave Tony bore a Share ; Have I not in Abomination Held the Miter and Lawn Sleeves , And Itcht at a second Sequestration ; To pull down such Ghostly Theeves . IV. Have I not Taught the Sanhedrim to Imperate and not Obey ? Th 'had Genuflections done to them , which men to Crowned Heads do pay . Then would I Barter for repeal o' th' Five and Thirtieth of Q. Bess , To make a way for a Commonweal , ( the Centre of our Happiness . ) V. How many hot and high Debates , in favour of th' Exclusive Bill , I bandy'd twixt the two Estates , th' effects of my depaved will ! ) By Subornation to the Block I brought a Loyal Noble Peer ; And trusted others to that Lock , which cost my Block and me so dear . VI. In fine , poor prefligated Wretch , for to indulge my Minion Spight , My Seared Conscience I did stretch , and did Old Rowley's Guards Indict . I did espouse all Wickedness , and only lov'd what 's purely Evil ; In that alone was my excess ; Then take thy own Associate , Devil .
