ADVICE TO A PAINTER Long since Proposed for the CONCLUSION Of this Year 1688. By J. P. COme Painter take a Prospect from this Hill And on a well spread Canvass shew thy Skill Draw all in Colours as they shall Appear And as they stand in Merit place them there Draw as the Heraulds do a spacious Field And as directed so let them be Fill'd First draw a Popish Army Brisk and Gay Fighting and Beat Destroy'd and Run away Then draw a Hearse and let it stand in View The Mourners more far more than is in shew Cursing their Fate their Stars and in this Fear Shew if thou canst how these Damn'd Sots prepare To run away or stay in Holes alone By them this Motto Gallows claim thy Own. Now to the Life let thy brisk Pencil shew Distinctly what they are and what 's their Due Now draw a Cloud and Croud of Priests to Run Like Broken Merchants when their Stocks are gone Some howling out their Prayers forget and say Save us Saint Ketch take all our Saints away Draw them in Hurry running too and Fro Posting to Dover Portsmouth Tyburn To. Next draw a Croud of Lords This Label by Our great design is lost Alas they cry who 'd serve a Cause of such curs'd Destiny Now draw four Priests shew how they Rome Adore And each Man's Scarf hang to be seen Before And of near kin unto the Scarlet Whore. Then draw Four Bishops falling to Despair Arm'd Ca-pa-pe but going God knows where That all who see it done may say 't is well Then draw the Judges there with thy best Skill In Caps and Gowns as They in order sate 'Twixt Heaven and Hell do you them elevate Their Learned Noddles can Dispence with that Now draw the Little Rogues the Scoundrel Crew Knights Knaves and Beggars they must have their due Gadbury Butler ay and Roger too Amidst this Croud on a fit spot of Land To Crown the Work let a large Gallows stand All trembling by arm'd with their Guilt and Fears Kneel to this Image and pour out their Prayers And after Dye by Suffocation London Printed in the Year 1688.
