A VINDICATION OF THE RUMP : OR , THE RUMP RE-ADVANC'D . To the Tune of , Vp tails all . FUll many a Ballad hath been penn'd , and scoffing Poem Writ Against the RVMP , but I intend to speak in praise of it . Come Jove and Apollo , come Venus and Mars , And lend your assistance : to speak of the A — will require a Prodigious wit . There 's scarce a Lady to be found that loves either Pear or Plum One halfe so well , if she be sound , as tabering at her B — . It may be , you 'l say , I 'm wide of the Case , Since that Musick 's made in a distant place : I answer , the bredth of your Thum. When Alderman Atkins did bemar his Hose , through a Panick fear , And Captain Rea , that Man of War , Oh! what a Hogo was there ? If you ask me , what praise is in this ? at a word , The Captain so fenced himself by a T — that his enemies could not come near . There is not a Lawyer in Countrey or Town , whose Rhetorick doth prevail , Although he hath purchas'd Fee-simple Gown , th' but loves to be dealing in tail ; And I may well swear by Apollo or Mars , That at a place called , the Oven's Arse , oft times I have drunken good Ale . And when you are dallying with a young Maid would you not her buttocks bethump ? And I have been often well apaid with a Goose both fat and plump : The body being eaten , we strive for the tail , Each man with his Kan'kin of nappy brown Ale , doth box it about for the RVMP . The RVMP of a Coney I often have seen most piteously claw'd by a Ferret , And a Capon 's Rump is a bit for a Queen , although she 's a person of merit . In preaching & praying who spends the whole day , At nights keeps a Rump wherewithall for to play , be he never so full of the spirit . I wonder who first call'd the Parliament RVMP , some say , that it was Jack Hobby , And some , fiery Pryn : good wits will jump ; now I write not this to bob ye , But only to tel ye , that good Mr. Pryn , For all that he 's cropt , yet he could not get in , but was fain to remain in the Lobby . The other day I was going in haste , ( to think on 't , it grieves my heart ) I saw a poor fellow all nak'd to the waste , and whipt at the Arse of a Cart : His Rump ( 't is true ) suffer'd the rout . But I would Fain know who it was , that durst be so bold , as to call Mr. Speaker Sir F — He might as well have stiled him Anus , since he was the mouth of the RVMP , As cunning a Fox as Rome's Sejanus : but I do not love for to frump ; Or else I could tell ye , my friends , to an Ace , What good can accrew to the Land by a Mace , as long as the Knave 's the great'st Trump . Our zealous sticklers for Reformation will edifie on the Rump of a Sister , And it will never grow out of fashion to physick the tail with a Glister . But beware that Monk doth not come with a bitter Purge to our Rump , which wil make her beshit her , for she hath already bepist her . Rumpatur .
