THE SPEECH SPOKEN TO THE Lord General Monck AT GOLDSMITHS-HALL April the tenth , 1660. By WALTER YOLKNEY . MY LORD , WE have layn under Hatches many years , Enthrall'd at first with Jealousies and fears : Since then , th' Indulgence of Pope Oliver Pardon'd all sins did to his Rise refer . Then Dapper Dicky did succeed his Sire , A very gentle , proper , ample Squire , A Man of Wax , that each Fool work'd upon : Fleetonian , or a Lambertonian , They then prevailing , did prepare a Pack Of all-together Knaves , walk , What d' yee lack : This was the Rumpin , Thumpin , Rumpin RVMP , To Rhyme to which , my Wits I 'm forc'd to Pump . The Rump had not sate long , but it began To stink i' th' Nostrils of th' Soulderian . Wallingford-House gave light to Hewsons Eye , To finde the ready way to Butchery . The Sultan Lambert's Pride , with paces even , Trac'd NOLL in Mr. Sterry's way to Heaven : He sway'd the Officer with Swadling Clout , Untill Your Excellency gave him the Rout : You murther'd him in point of his Repute , In that you Vanquish'd him without Dispute ; That , since ( My Lord ) You have appear'd , the Els Is A la mort , and may go Hoyle himself . Thus hath our late so famous Government , Been , by the Teeth of Malice , torn and rent ; Which , to patch up again , the Cobler comes , The Botcher , and the Tinker , with their Thumbs : But your approach dispers'd that Rabble Rout , Banish'd our Fears , and gave our Hopes no doubt : So that we see your Word 's of greater force , Than the huge Menaces of Foot or Horse ; That , like Cyneas , you a Conquest gain Where e're you come , and yet not any slain . A Civil Garland hath Renown'd you more , Than all his Bloody Triumphs did before : Your Prudence hath brought Peace unto our Gates , And knit the dislocated Joynts of States ; That , by instinct , We sensibly do feel Our Center fixt , that late began to reel . Religione purer Robe so rent and torn , Will be made new , and in a sense , Re-born : The Law so threatned to be Ham-string'd , now Will finde Protection from your awful brow ; And Trading , that long time hath Bed-rid lain , Will sprightly grow , and shake its Legs again : That we , e're long , shall be so innocent , As not to know what the word PLOT hath meant . Then blame Us not , if that our Joyes abound ; What e're Our Reasons are , YOV are the Ground .
