AN ANSWER TO THE SATYR Upon the French KING . WHY all this Rage , Jack ? Whence this sad disaster ? What makes thee thus abuse thy Royal Master ! Why all this Passion for Italian Molly , That thou could'st wish to Firk a Bumm with Holly ? Had'st thou no other way to shew thy Folly ? And is 't not monstrous thus to shift thy Sails , And Ridicule the vertuous Prince of Wales ? The feeble Prop of Abdicated Right ; The Hope of each expiring Jacobite . But why the Devil , must the Turks and Tartars , Lamented be as Confessors , and Martyrs ? Is it to let us understand your mind , And know , to what Religion you 're inclin'd ? If so , I 'll Swear You are the fittest Man To write a Comment on the Alcoran ; For if the Fable won't with Reason chime , You 'll make Amends , and Daub it o're in Rhime . Lord ! What strange Times must we expect to Come , When each Non-juror turns a Whipping Tom ? Faith 't is high time the Whiggs shou'd all be jogging : If once the Tory Poets talk of Flogging ; Or send their brawny Buttocks to the Tanners , Since Oates's Pennance can't Reform their Manners . Forsake thy Muse , Jack ; take a School ; 't is better To Flogg Boys Arses , than pay Scores with Meeter . As once you in a merry Frollick told one , A young Bum-fiddle's better than an old one . Then , stead of Tythe-Piggs , Quarter Pay comes in , To furnish out your now dismantled Chin. By help of this you may Restore your Nose , Retrieve your Pimples , and Repair your Cloaths , Know where to Dine when your Intestines croke , And not be forc'd to Stuff your Gutts with Smoke ; Constrained no more , by Nodding and by Beckening , To Intimate the Bar must Score the Reckoning ; Have always ready Coin your Club to pay : And Sheppard will Rejoice to fee the day , When he no more shall count his Summs on Tick , Nor you complain that Publick Faith is sick . Then , take a Friend's Advice , and Change betimes To Penitential Prose your Mungrel Rhimes . WILLIAM and LEWIS mount a nobler Pitch , Than your enfeebled Malice e're can reach . The glorious Beams of their concentring Light , Contracts your Power , and Disdains your Spite . Your Haggard Muse has chose a Theme too high : The Eagle's not a Quarry for the Fly .
