of Livings I have choice I 'le sell you two or three if that you please So you 'l have money comming in with ease If that to Preach your selfe you can't indure Get some poore Iourney-man to serve your Cure You 'l quickly light on such a one I trow We have made more then how to live doe know Wax Candles Tapors another cries and calls These brought I with me from Cathedrall Paules They 'l scare the

burn so cleere and smell so like a Rose And when you thinke that it hath burnt enough Then blow it out you shall not smell the snuffe Or else you may on whom you will bestow it They 'l joy to thinke a Bishop once did owe it Come hither Friend another loud doth call I 'le sell you here my Common-Prayer-Bookes all Sir view this same and take it in your hand This Booke but lately no man durst withstand For if he did and we thereof did heare Wee sure did make him a Commissioner And if he chanc'd apearance for to misse To Limbo Patrum he was sent for this And if he did not us some money give In that Abysse we doom'd him still to live Money my hearts another loud doth call I see I am not now in Lambeth Hall No sooner I from Dinner then was risen Men brought me chinke to free them out of Prison I 'm broke I 'm broke another then did say Come buy my Hoods I can no longer stay What mean ye Sirs the day is almost spent Come buy my Trinckets all incontinent Come hither friend the price is very small ●●e sell my Coate it is Canonicall Come buy this Miter Sir if you be able The vertue of it is inestimable Buy't Sir and wear it and then soon I hope You will rise higher and become a Pope I tell you truely had not fortune left mee I would have kept it untill Death bereft me It now beginning to grow towards night Comes a grave Doctor running in with might His courage stoute was something now abated He brings his golden Slippers consecrated And crys come buy these Slippers here of mine They are emboss'd with Holines Divine They will in all your wayes preserve you sound And with them you may tread on holy Ground If you 'l but weare them this I 'le tell you more You 'l leave the Earth and to the Heavens may soare They 'r fild with Holines within and round about Here looke upon them see how 't breaketh out If not my Slippers then my great Bumbo I le sel 't you now what answer No no no We thought our ware would sell at such a price And of our hands beene vented in a trice That this last Act upon the English Stage Would forded money for our pilgrimmage To Babylon the Great how'ere we dream'd no lesse Then Ransom for his prisoned Holynesse But he nor we must by this Lambeth Faire Get help I see by this our Popish ware Whilst thus the Bishops there their guts and they Cal'd to their Customers to come away A Messenger came running through the croud And to the Bishops thus he spake aloud Away to Rome or Tiburne chuse you whether I know your shooes are made of running leather For all the Lawes o th' Land you have out run And I come here to tell you what is done The Parliament hath pul'd your pride toth ' ground And by the House three times y' are voted down Your war 's not worth a for all your cogging See where the Hangman comes away be jogging Alas cryed they is all our labour losse Others get money we have but the Crosse For we are crossed in our expedition And fly we must for all Oxfords Petition Yet notwithstanding herein lies our hope We shall be entertained by the Pope With that like men of Sences quite bereft They ran away and all their trinckets left A friend of mine to me did then repaire Desireing me to pen this famous Fayr Which I have done and have it here to sell Come buy the Faire of me and so farewell FINIS
