Althouh his glass was soon run out , with a fa , &c. But behind him he hath left a Noble stock May give a Traytor a handsome knock , For making a king to submit to the block . with a fa , &c. The blood that he lost as I suppose , with a fa , &c. Caused fire to rise in Olivers Nose , with a fa , &c. His rousing Nose did bear such asway , It cast such a heat in shining ray , That England scarce knew the night from day with a fa , &c. Oliver was of Huntington , with a fa , &c. Born he was a Brewers son , with a fa , &c. He soon forsook his dray and flings , And counted a Brewers house a pitifull thing When he came to the stately throne of a king : with a fa , &c. Oliver had a heart of gall , with a fa , &c. For to murder his Prince at white-Hall , with a fa , &c. He swore who ever was over the main , Whether a French King or a Spain , Yet in England no King should remain , with a fa , &c.
The second part to the same Tune .

DUke Humphery was the first Protector with a fa , &c. Henry the sixt the next Protector , with a fa , &c. Then thirdly Oliver he tooke place . But Lucifer soon removed his grace , Then he set up young Dick the fool of his race , with a fa , &c. No sooner was Dick got up to the Throne , with a fa , &c. But he considered t was none of his own , with a fa , &c. And staring this way and that way about : Desiring to be resolved a doubt . Then in came Lambert and turned him out with a fa , &c. Fleetwood desirous of the place , with a fa , &c. Sent forth Lambert the Scot to face , with a fa , &c. And being in the strength of his desire , When he did think poor Iockey to brier , His men forsooke him and left him in the mier . with a fa , &c. Thus you may sée how some do rise , with a fa , &c. With an intent to surmount the Skies with a fa , &c. But when they are up they shall have a fall , Witness Fleetwood blind Hewson , and all , The raged rout of a Coblers stall , with a fa , &c. We have cleared white-Hall of Lobsters and Géese , with a fa , &c. Turned Rump and Kidnies out of the house with a fa , &c. We have brought in Charls from over the main Make wars with France & peace with Spain . Now we shall get money and trading again with a fa , &c. Citizens look to your selves I say , with a fa , &c. Let no Coblers preach and pray : with a fa , &c. Tom Cobler is flown the Lord kno'ns whither Fleetwood and he I hope are together , Now we have braught in the King and wée l have faire weather with a fa , Blind Hewson was not of our kind , with a fa , &c. To run a way and leave his men behind , with a fa , But I wish I could find him by the sent , There 's neither that law nor the rump parlament Should save him from death to give us content with a fa la la la lalero .
