The Ballad of the CLOAK Dr. The Cloaks Knavery To the Tune of From Hunger and Cold Or Packington's Pound COme buy my new Ballet I have 't in my Wallet But 't will not I fear please every Pallet Then mark what ensu'th I swear by my Youth That every Line in my Ballad is truth A Ballad of Wit a brave Ballad of worth 'T is newly Printed and newly come forth 'T was made of a Cloak that ell out with a Gown That crampt all the Kingdom and crippl'd the Crown I 'le tell you in brief A Story of Grief Which happen'd when Cloak was Commander in Chief It tore Common-Prayers Imprison'd Lord Mayors In one day it voted down Prelates and Players It made people in point of Obedience And the Covenant did cut off the Oath of Allegiance Then let us endeavour to pull the Cloak down That crampt all the Kingdom and crippl'd the Crown It was a Black Cloak In good time be it spoke That kill'd many thousands but never struck stroak With Hatchet and Rope The Forlorn Hope Did joyn with the Devil to pull down the Pope It set all the Sects in the City to work And rather then fail 't would have brought in the Turk Then let us endeavour c. It seiz'd on the Tow'r Guns Those fierce Demi-Gorgons It brought in the Bag-pipes and pull'd down the Organs The Pulpits did smoak The Churches did Choak And all our Religion was turn'd to a Cloak It brought in Lay-Elders could not write nor Read It set publick Faith up and pull'd down the Creed Then let us endeavour c. This Pious Imposter Such fury did foster It left us no Penny nor no Pater-Nosier It threw to the ground Ten Commandments down And set up twice twenty times ten of its own It routed the King and Villians Elected To plunder all those whom they thought disaffected Then let us endeavour c. To blind peoples eyes This Cloak was so wise It took off Ship-money but set up Excise Men brought in their Plate For Reasons of State And gave it to Tom Trumpeter and his Mate In Pamphlets it writ many specious Epistles To cozen poor Wenches of Bodkins and Whistles Then let us endeavour to pull the Cloak down That crampt all the Kingdom and crippl'd the Crown IN Pulpits it moved And was much approved For crying out Fight the Lords Battle Beloved It bob-tayl'd the Gown Put Prelacy down It trod on the Myter to reach at the Crown And into the field it an Army did bring To aim at the Council but shot at the King Then let us endeavour c. It raised up States Whose Politick Pates Do now keep their Quarters on the City Gates To Father and Mother To Sister and Brother It gave a Commission to Kill one another It took up Mens Horses at very low rates And Plunder'd our Goods to secure our Estates Then let us endeavour c. This Cloak did proceed To a Damnable deed It made the best Mirror of Majesty bleed Thought Cloak did not do 't He set it on Foot By Rallying and calling his Journey-men to 't For never had come such a Bloody Disaster If Cloak had not first drawn a Sword to his Master Then let us endeavour c. Though some of them went hence By sorrowful Sentence This lofty long Cloak is not mov'd to Repentance But he and his Men Twenty Thousand times ten Are plotting to do their Tricks over agen But let this proud Cloak to Authority stoop Or CATCH will provide him a Button and Loop Then let us endeavour to pull the Cloak down That basely did sever the Head from the Crown Let 's pray that the King And his Parliament In Sacred and Secular Things may consent So Righteously firm And Religiously free That Papists and Atheists suppressed may be And as there 's one Deity doth over-reign us One Faith and one Form one Church may contain us Then peace Truth and plenty our Kingdom will Crown And all popish plots and their plotters shall down FINIS Printed for P.
