A RELATION OF A QUAKER , That to the Shame of his Profession , Attempted to Bugger a Mare near Colchester . ALL in the Land of Essex Near Colchester the Zealous , On the side of a bank , Was play'd such a prank , As would make a Stone-horse jealous . Help Woodcock , Fox , and Nailor . For Brother Green 's a Stalion , Now Alas what hope , Of converting the Pope , When a Quaker turns Italian . Unto our whole profession , A scandal t will be counted , When 't is talk't with difdain , Amongst the Profane , How Brother Green was mounted . And in the good time of Christmas , Which though the Saints have damn'd all , Yet when did they hear Of a damn'd Cavalier Ere play'd such a Christmas gamball . Had thy flesh , O Green , been pamper'd With any Cates unhallow'd , Hadst thou sweetned thy Gumbs With Pottage of Plumbs Or profane minc'd pie hadst swallow'd . Roll'd up in wanton swines flesh , The fiend might have crept into thee , Then fulnesse of gut Might have made thee rut And the devil so have rid through thee . But Alas , he had been feasted With a spirituall Collation By our frugall Mayer , Who can dine with a Prayer And sup with an Exhortation . T was meer impulse of Spirit , Though he us'd the weapon carnal , Filly Foal quoth he My Bride thou shalt be : Now how this is lawfull , learn all . For if no respect of persons Be due mongst the sons of Adam In a large extent Then may it be meant That a Mare 's as good as a Madam . Then without more Ceremony , Nor Bonnet vail'd , nor Kist her , He took her by force For better for worse And he us'd her like a Sister . Now when in such a Saddle A Saint will needs be riding , Though I dare not say 'T is a falling away May there not be some backsliding . No surely quoth Iames Nailor T was but an insurrection Of the Carnall part , For a Quaker in heart Can never lose perfection . For so our * * Hist. of Jesuitism . Masters Teach us The intent being well directed ; Though the devil Trapan The Adamicall man , The Saint stands uninfected . But yet a Pagan Jury Still Judges what 's intended , Then say what we can Brother Green's outward man I fear will be suspended . And our Adopted Sister Will find no better quarter , But when him we inroule For a Saint ; Filly Foal Shall passe at least for a Martyr . Now Rome that Spirituall Sodom No longer is thy debter , O Colchester now Who 's Sodom , but thou , Even according to the Letter . Help Woodcock , Fox and Nailor For Brother Green 's a Stallion , Now Alas what hope Of converting the Pope When a Quaker turns Italian . FINIS .
