WHITEHALL Swept and Furnished . By A. T. A Lover of his Countrey . ROuze up my Genius , what art now grown dead ? Or have I lost thee with my Maiden-head ? Or think 's Apollo to be seen , a sin ? Cause Ireton wants Hair upon his chin ? Or did dire Lawson and his Crew combine , Abhorring Metre , to immerge the NINE ? That 's not the cause ; Thou 'st been upon the Rack , Since Titchborn's Grapes were cheaper sold then Sack . Away to Court , and there take but your fill , 'T is 'gainst the Proclamation for to swill ; In spite of all the tribe of Beelzebub , Drink off your Wine , and render them the Tub To preach in ; whose divine ingenuous scent Will teach them better Doctrine then they vent . Enter there boldly , prithee be not nice , But view each parcel of the Edifice , And its Inhabitants : View every man , From all that 's sacred to the Dripping-pan : But spare that Majesty , which once but nam'd , Would fill more Volumes than the world hath fram'd . Now to the Work , and first remove that Lumber , Which did the Royal Palace so long cumber ; Nol is marcht off , by this hath had his Doom , And for his B●ethren now is making room . I can't but smile to hear how he now raves , That kill'd the Bears , and call'd the Bear-hoods slaves , And Bradshaw prate , but Pluto bids , content , Sirrah , you are not here my President . And Linx-ey'd Sterry , who affirm'd of late , That Brittish Nero now in Heaven sate , Is a true Prophet , and did guess it well , He is in Heaven , if there be no Hell : That Scot , and Vane , and Hasilrigg will know When their deserts shall send them down below , Who have so mangled Honor , that we quite Have lost distin●tion 'twixt Sir Knave and Knight . Prodigious Pack , and Harrison , and Packer , And Hewson , those Varlets Conscience-maker , These Mothes of State , and many thousands more , Hate Monarchy , as Martin loves a Whore : Now binde them up and Cart them , here 's my Garter , Let Disborow that Lordship be their Carter . The Rout is gone , the Royal Train is come , Whose very Breath persume●h every room , And all those places in this Court that were A Den of Thieves , is now an House of Prayer . Vertue 's in fashion , now are come agen , And what 's as rare , both just and honest men : The Vail is taken off which we were under , Joan and my Lady parted are asunder . Here 's Chastity and Beauty , but one smile Would raise a Stoicks spirits forty Mile : So free from Vice , their bodies never tri'd , Whose mental parts are onely occupi'd . The Gentlemen so civil and so just , You 'd think they wanted Instruments of Lust : So honor'd , each S●r-reverence of theirs , More Knightship ha's than had all Oliver's . May you continue vertuous , and my wish Shall be Prosperity your chiefest bliss ; For if you once descend to sordid folly , My Paper will grow pale , ink , melancholly . PROVERBS 25. 5. Take away the wicked from before the King , and his Throne shall be established in Righteousness .
