The Tune to the Devonshire Cant: Or , an Answer to the PARLIAMENT Dissolved at Oxford . — Nonne vides ut nudum remigio latus . Horat. Ode XIIII Lib. I THE safety of the KING and 's Royal Throne , Depends on those 500 KINGS alone ; Those , under whom some say three Kingdoms groan . The Commons no new Methods will assigne , Of chusing KINGS they know the Royal Line , Was wont to be reputed as Divine . Your English-men who understand who gave , Their KING his Royal grandure scorn to have , His Majesty their General , their Slave . As frantick and outragious as were , Their VOTES ; they shew'd their Vigilence and care , And nought like those could dissipate our fear . They are Dissolv'd and with them all our hopes , Prepare for Smithfeild fires for Racks and Ropes ; For that 's the pleasing Exercise of POPES . Now to create Intestine Broyls what need Is there , of those experienc'd things take heed , When'th States Blood 's hot 't is dangerous to bleed . In all true Hearts it would a Love create , To see the Supreme power dissipate , All Pentioners , those Spungers of our State . The Commons aimes were but to regulate , Things shufll'd out of place in Church and State , Nor to cramp Justice but corroborate . When they offend they justly feel the smart , Impos'd on them by some ambitious heart ; Who 's swellen envy breaks out like a Fart . But here 's the mischief , they espouse the Law , Hate those who Subjects from Allogiance draw , And of their Royal Master stand in awe . We 've grounds to hope when next they meet they 'l bring , Wise Councels , Grave Proposals , ev'ry thing , Conducive to the Peace of People and KING . If so , we 'll sing adieu to PLOTS , in vain Shall Rogues attempt to shake our Peace again , And then great CHARLES most happily will reign .
