Never think Of that your danger then is less to sink 'T is strange shall I water want It cannot be I have spilt Blood enough to make a Sea By all that 's bad we 'le swim it o're then come My Keel shall plow my Mare Mortuum Let but the winds be good and we 'le prevail Curses and Sighs shall swell the labouring Sail. Char. First let met know what haste hath brought thee here Didst thou ride Post upon the * Tyburn three-leg'd Mare Or did thy Murthering Soul unto this Foord Fly from the point of some Revenging Sword Brad. I Murthered not my self and none but I Dur●… attempt that venturous Act to vie VVith Hell for th' Ruff and double o're again The seventy seven-fold Punishment of Cain My P●●ow was my block and Swans did bring My Scarlet Soul upon their milky wing Char. 'T is strange yea and unnatural to see That such a Rogue should dye and naturally Sure millions would have Ravished thy Breath But that none durst attempt that deed but Death For Justice could not be Reveng'd on you Unless ●e could kill Soul and Body too But why do you come here get you to Hell For to Read Lectures unto Machiavel Your Borgia could do that and I have Reason To keep you back Pluto would think it Treason You and your Partner sure will pluck him down Hell is not dark enough to hide his Crown Brad. Charon don't fear I 'le warrant we 'le agree For Hell and I were ne're at enmity Char. Give me your Naulum then take here this cup Of Lethe think 't is Blood and swill it up Brad. That won't wash Guilt 't is as good let it alone And as for Money I will give you none I've a Commission mind from whom I am sent You 're Ferry-man unto the Parliament Char. Lambert hath shut that Door and as for me You shall not enter here without a Fee Should I waft Round-heads o're for nought I find C●…elion-like my Sails must live by wind Had you the Bishops Lands and could not bring One Tithe to me at least an Offering You shall not o're on tick for pay you must VVhen Infidels do meet ne're talk of trust Bradsh There 's Six-pence Cha. What 's the Motto O 't is thus The Common-wealth of England God with us You VVorship Coin your Golden Calves I see Have got a pretty stamp a Deity But prithee Bradshaw now thou art come le ts know How thou and Pride did chance to fall so low You went for Saints on Earth were 〈◊〉 not far More fit for you i' th' Heavens to shine a Star Brad. My Brother Pride his thoughts on Hell did fix For to brew merry Beer and Ale with Styx His Trash would not vent there the Angels they He thought drank nothing but Ambrosia And somewhat else besides increas'd his Fears There was a grudge betwixt him and the Bears And Charon as to me your Questions are Most Foolish know you not that Charles is there To drive black Pluto's Coach I 'de rather dain Than to be VVaggoner to Charles's wain Char. VVere you out you shou'd scarce come in again This Ferry-boat was never made for Man But you may go ' cause you 're Noli's stalking-horse Rather for Beast or something that is worse Brad. More Ass I but I am rid on 't I suppose And shall be even with him in spight of 's Nose I must confess my Purple Robes alone Did serve to make a Foot-stall for his Throne Nought could be done I say 't to my Disgrace By 's Iron-sides but for my brazen face I scorn'd to pluck off Hat to Majesty Although I made him pluck off's Head to me Though he amazed it stir'd not me his Breath Cou'd not move me although it frightned Death My Perjur'd Soul cou'd easily dispence To cut a way for Noll through Innocence Yet enter'd not I on the Mine before I thought my self secure of half the Ore I thought my gains were good the stakes being down I quickly made a Foot-ball of the Crown But Noll trip'd up my heels that surly Soul And I was glad at last I escap'd the Goal He got the gain and lost his Soul and all That * Nolls Wife Jone might sell her Kitchen-stuff at White-hall Here 's Land what Clouds are these what does Hell turn Out all her Lights ' cause she for me might mourn Has Pluto Tinder-boxes Char. No. Brad. What then Hath Noll a Nose will light those Flames agen Char.

What empty thing art thou As for my part I am as th' Soul of th' Rump shou'd be a fart Lately let you shortly shall have more Lambert hath kick'd their Arse-ships out of door Rav.
