The Dagonizing of Bartholomew Fayre , caused through the Lord Majors Command , for the battering downe the vanities of the Gentiles , comprehended in Flag and Pole , appertayning to Puppet play . The 23. of August being the day before the Apostolicke Fayre . ON August's foure and twentieth Eve , The Cities Soveraigne and the Shrieve To Smithfield came if you 'l beleeve to see th' ungodly flagges . The Livery men were sore put too 't , Though some wore shoe , and some wore boot , They ' wre all constraind to trans on foot , God save 'em . Entring through Duck-lane at the Crowne , The soveraigne Cit began to frowne , As if 't abated his renowne , the paint did so o'retop him . Downe with these Dagons then , quoth he , They outbrave my dayes Regality , For 's pride and partiality Jove crop him . I le have no puppet-playes , quoth he , The harmlesse-mirth displeaseth me , Begun on August twenty three , 't is full twelve howres too early . A Yonker then began to laugh , 'Gainst whom the Major advanc't white staffe , And sent him to the Compter safe , sans parly . Another wight ( in wofull wise ) Besought the Major , his pupetries , That he would not Babell-onize , surely they were not whorish . Oh do'nt my bratts Isabellize , They ne're did Meretritialize Betwixt your Lordships Ladies thighes , peace Villaine . Another Mortall had a clout , Which on a long pole did hang out , At which the Major turnd up his snout , for he was then advancing . Mounted with him came both the Shrieves , And Catchpoles with their hanging slieves , They shew'd much like a den of theev's though prauncing . With that my Lord did silence breake , He op'd his mouth and thus did speake , T is fittest quoth he that the weake unto the walls should goe . There was a Varlet ( close at hand ) To execute ( Gold chaines ) command Pull'd wight away straight , notwithstand notwithstanding , fowle t was . He that shew'd wonders made of waxe , Spoke in behalfe of his fine knacks , Quoth he , we spit no fire of flax , nor such like puppet showes . Besides we shew his Excellence , Quoth Major , that is a faire pretence , Gods-nigs t is time that I were hence s' away ' h goes . On top of Booth sat pudding Iohn , ( Lord would be loath to sit thereon , ) I 'me sure he wisht his Lordship gone , yet durst not tell him so . But when his Lordship left the Fayre , John set up throat did rend the Ayre , And glad he was , he lowd did sweare he was gone .
So was Mr. FINIS .
