Pratle your pleasure , ( under the ROSE . ) THere is an old Proverb , which al the world knows , Any thing may be spoke , so 't be under the Rose , Then now let us speake ; whilst we are in the hint , Of the State of the Land , and th' enormities in 't . Vnder the rose be it spoke , there 's a number of knaves , More then ever were known in a stock before ; But I hope that their mischiefs have digg'd their owne graves , And wee 'l never trust Knaves for their sakes any more . Vnder the Rose , &c. the Citie 's an Asse , So long to the publique to let their Gold run , To keep the King out , but 't s now come to passe , I am sure they will lose , whosoever has wonne . Vnder the Rose , &c. there 's a company of men , Traine Bands they are call'd , a pox confound'm . And when they are waiting at Westminster Hall , May their Wives be made whores , and begot with child all . Vnder , &c. there 's a damn'd Committee , Sits in Hell ( Goldsmiths Hall ) in the midst of the City , Only to sequester the poore Cavaliers , The Devill take their soules , and the Hang-man their ears . Vnder the Rose be it spoke , if you do not repent Of that horrible sin , your pure Parliament , Pray stay till Sir Thomas doth bring in the King , Then Derrick may chance have them all in a string . Vnder the Rose be 't spoke , let the Synod now leave To wrest the whole Scripture poore soules to deceive , For all they have spoke , or taught , will never save 'em , Vnlesse they will leave that fault , Hell's sure to have ' m. Mr. Finis Mr ▪ An. Dom. 1647 .
