THE PARLIAMENTS KNELL . FArewell old Parliament of , seaven years standing Now make your testament : ther 's no disbanding That very Rebell-route your first upholders , Are come to pull you out by head and shoulders . Come let us sing ding dong , till we shake the steeple , This is a fine new song , Come a long good people , Come help to ring their knell , they n'ere refuse you , You needs must use 'em well , that so did use you . Now all our virtuall Kings must be deposed , Their tricks , and jugling things are all disclosed , Their vowes , and their results , now cannot save 'em , And for their close consults , the Devill will have them . King CHARLES is loose at last , the Scots have sold him , And when you had him fast , you could not hold him , He is now on his way , hee 'l no more sue t' yee Fairfax hath playd faire play , and done his duty . Your proud Presbytery Cannot protect you Your wise directory Cannot direct you , We shall have Bishops store , with Copes and Miters Buffe coats shall preach no more , nor Priests be fighters . Your Wednesdayes and your wayes of humiliation . Your strange thanksgiving dayes , of prophanation Now must be laid aside , Christmas is lost else Old Easter Whitsontide , and the Apostles , Your propositions and Qualifications Your Protestations and your abjurations . Your Covenant and your Oath , of Nonadherence , Will make the Houses both to flie for feare hence Now down with Goldsmiths Hall that Golden Idol That dreadfull Tribunall that did decide all . Let 's have our wives again , now you have fleec'd 'em They 'll serve delinquent men , though you have squeezd 'em . Rise up you philistins leave of your humming Report you of your sins King Charles is Coming . Fairfax and Crom well too are at Saint Albone They 'll knock down more of you , then Sampsons jaw-bone . Mr. FINIS .
