IN an humor of late I was Ycleped a dolefull dump . Thought I — we 're at a fine passe ; Not a man stands up for the Rump : But lets it be lash'd o'r and o'r . While it lies like a senselesse Fop — . 'T would make a man , a Whore , To see a Tail tew'd like a Top. Though a Rump be a dangerous Bit , And many a Knave runs mad ont't , Yet verily as it may hit , An honest man may be glad on 't . To abuse a poor , Blind Creature — I had like to have said , and a Dumb ; But now it ha's gotten a Speaker , And Say is the Mouth of the Bum , When Besse rul'd the Land there was no man Complain'd , and yet now they Rail : I beseech you what differs a woman 〈◊〉 From a thing that 's all Tongue , and Tail ? Though a Rump , &c. The Charter we 've sworn to defend , And propagate the Cause . What call you those of the Rump-end But Fundamental Laws ? The Case is as clear as the Day , There had been no Reformation , If the Rump had not claw'd it away , You had had no Propagation , Tho' a Rump , &c. As a Body's the better for a Purge , Tho' the Guts may be troubled with Grip●s : So the Nation will mend with a Scourge , Tho' the Tayl may be sick of the Stripes . Ill Humors to conve●gh , When the State hath taken a Loosnesse , ● ( Who can hold what will away ? ) The Rump must doe the Bus'nesse . Tho' a Rump , &c. The bold Cavalier , in the Field , That laughs at your Sword , and Gunshot , An Ordinance makes him to yield , And he 's glad to turn Tayl to Bum-shot . Old Oliver was a Teazer , And waged warr with the Stump ; But Alexander , and Caesar Did both submit to the Rump . Tho' a Rump , &c. Let no man be further misled By an Errour , past Debate . For Sedgwick has prov'd it the Head , At well of the Church as the State ; onest Hugh ; that still turnes up the Tippets , When he Kneels to Administer ; Sayes — a Rump , with Skippons sippets , Is a Dish for a Holy Sister , Tho' a Rump , &c. Through Pr●de of Flesh , or State Poor Souls are overthrown : How happy then is our Fate ? Wee 've a Rump to take us down , In matter 's of 〈◊〉 't is true , ● Some Differings 〈◊〉 may But give the Saints their due , In the Rump they all agree . Tho' a Rump , &c. 'T is good at Bed , and at Bord ; It gives us Pleasure and Ease , Will you have the rest in a word ? 'T is good for the new disease , ( The Tumult of the Guts ; ) 'T is a Recipe for the Kings Evil , Wash the Members as sweet as Nuts , And then throw them all to the Devil . Though a Rump be a dangerous Bit , And many a Knave runs mad on 't , Yet , verily , as it may hit , An honest man may be glad on 't . Printed at Oxford for Carolus Gustavus .
