THE APPRENTICES HUE-AND-CRY AFTER THEIR PETITION . WHo so can Tidings bring of a Petition , That 's gone Astray , and in a lost Condition . Who so can Advertise which way it went , Shall be Rewarded , and have good Content . But , whither is it gone ? out of the Nation , Or was it frighted by the Proclamation ? Or is it Dead , through many fears ? Or is it Banisht with the Cavaliers ? Or does it hide , like the Innocent Owls ? Or have the Red-Coats got it into Pauls ? Or is it Fled and not Pursued ? Or is it carryed to be View'd By the Lord Lambert ? Or is 't lost ? Or is it in the middle of the Host At Portsmouth ? Or is it gone Wandring to Scotland all alone ? Or has it taken Water to Graves End ? Or to White Hall ? Or dos't intend To keep its Christmas in a Country Town ? Or did the good Committee put it down ? Or did our Father Atkin ( being anoy'd ) Up with his RUMP and make it void ? Surely 't is gone we know not whither , That and the Answer both together , But shall 't Imprisoned be ? What shall it die ? Shall it be lost for want of Hue-and-Cry ? Shall it grow out of Date through want of Care ? Shal't alwayes be detaind in Red-Coats Snare ? Shal't ne're be found ? Through Negligence Shall we be still put off under pretence Of a Responsal ? Yet we see Nothing at all but meer Formality . But shall we part with 't thus , and we not see ? Shall we serve Seven Years and not be Free ? Shall we be Cheated so ? No , stay , We will Reduc't if gone Astray . If it be frighted by the Proclamation , Our Swords Establish shall a Reformation . If it be Banished , believe it , Wee 'l forfeit our Indentures to Reprieve it . Or if the Red-Coats hav 't in Pauls , no doubt , Wee 'l pull the Steeple down to fetch it out , If Atkins blew 't away , he shall Adjourn His Arse a while , the Wind wee 'l turn Into another Point , and he Shall Fart no more so eagerly . If it be gon by Water or by Land To Scotland , White Hall or Grave's End , If in a Country Town it make a stay , Our Writs shall fetch it back before Twelfth day . Wherever'tis , where e're 't is gone ( Whether with Company , or all alone ) Heigh , all together , let us fetch it Home . FINIS .
