A satire on the earl of Warrington and his Cheshire men entering London in state; "The King of hearts" was a name applied to him. Reproduction of the original in the Bodleian Library. Created by converting TCP files to TEI P5 using tcp2tei.xsl, TEI @ Oxford. Re-processed by University of Nebraska-Lincoln and Northwestern, with changes to facilitate morpho-syntactic tagging. Gap elements of known extent have been transformed into placeholder characters or elements to simplify the filling in of gaps by user contributors. EEBO-TCP is a partnership between the Universities of Michigan and Oxford and the publisher ProQuest to create accurately transcribed and encoded texts based on the image sets published by ProQuest via their Early English Books Online (EEBO) database (http://eebo.chadwyck.com). The general aim of EEBO-TCP is to encode one copy (usually the first edition) of every monographic English-language title published between 1473 and 1700 available in EEBO. EEBO-TCP aimed to produce large quantities of textual data within the usual project restraints of time and funding, and therefore chose to create diplomatic transcriptions (as opposed to critical editions) with light-touch, mainly structural encoding based on the Text Encoding Initiative (http://www.tei-c.org). The EEBO-TCP project was divided into two phases. The 25,363 texts created during Phase 1 of the project have been released into the public domain as of 1 January 2015. Anyone can now take and use these texts for their own purposes, but we respectfully request that due credit and attribution is given to their original source. Users should be aware of the process of creating the TCP texts, and therefore of any assumptions that can be made about the data. Text selection was based on the New Cambridge Bibliography of English Literature (NCBEL). If an author (or for an anonymous work, the title) appears in NCBEL, then their works are eligible for inclusion. Selection was intended to range over a wide variety of subject areas, to reflect the true nature of the print record of the period. In general, first editions of a works in English were prioritized, although there are a number of works in other languages, notably Latin and Welsh, included and sometimes a second or later edition of a work was chosen if there was a compelling reason to do so. Image sets were sent to external keying companies for transcription and basic encoding. Quality assurance was then carried out by editorial teams in Oxford and Michigan. 5% (or 5 pages, whichever is the greater) of each text was proofread for accuracy and those which did not meet QA standards were returned to the keyers to be redone. After proofreading, the encoding was enhanced and/or corrected and characters marked as illegible were corrected where possible up to a limit of 100 instances per text. Any remaining illegibles were encoded as s. Understanding these processes should make clear that, while the overall quality of TCP data is very good, some errors will remain and some readable characters will be marked as illegible. Users should bear in mind that in all likelihood such instances will never have been looked at by a TCP editor. The texts were encoded and linked to page images in accordance with level 4 of the TEI in Libraries guidelines. Copies of the texts have been issued variously as SGML (TCP schema; ASCII text with mnemonic sdata character entities); displayable XML (TCP schema; characters represented either as UTF-8 Unicode or text strings within braces); or lossless XML (TEI P5, characters represented either as UTF-8 Unicode or TEI g elements).

I Sing the Man that rais'd a Shirtless Band Of Northern Rabble , when the Prince did land ; A Sniveling Heroe with a Weasel Face , And Features which an Eunuch would disgrace ; Of a dark Spirit , turbulent and proud , Rude to Superiors , fawning to the Crowd ; Prompt to Revenge , and treacherously base , Plotting when private , blust'ring when in place ; Too weak to hurt , yet ever working ill , Harmless in Action , Mischievous in Will : Stiff for Religion , which he ne're profest , A Modish Zealot , with bad Morals blest , Lewdly profane , and wicked like the rest ; Sainted i' th Womb , and born with mortal hate . To the Establish'd Forms in Church and State. The Youth was train'd in a Fanatick Club , And heard a Blockhead bellow in a Tub : In riper years , the great Achitophel , With all the Learning he receiv'd from Hell , Refin'd the hot-brain'd Lout , and taught him to rebell He studied Anarchy , and Common-weal , And learn'd to varnish Wickedness with Zeal . In Treason too he wondrous progress made ; And once his secret labours were betray'd : But halting Justice came too late that time , For want of Evidence , but not of Crime : Witness the late Rehearsal that was made , When a Chief Actor the whole Scene display'd ; Witness what since the Chit himself has said , Like mad St. As — wonders he foretells , And in the Art of Palmistry excells ; With Frantick Gestures , and a dismal Meen , The Wretch discoursing to himself is seen : His boding looks a Mind distracted show , And Envy sits engrav'd upon his Brow ; A restless Male-content , even when preferr'd , He leaves the Court , and mingles with the Herd ; Flutt'ring and vain , he seeks their wild applause , And heads them in defiance of the Laws : Harrangues the gaping Mobile aloud , And plays the Merry-Andrew of the Crowd : He tells them his Estate is pawn'd and spent In waging War against the Government : In the great Council he their Cause promotes , The Patron of their perjured Darling , Oates . When Weavers with United Fury went T' affront the Court , and dare the Parliament , He their great Guardian , in the Crowded Street , That medley Tribe of Mutineers did greet . Great Tom's Leige-People thus he makes his own , And undermines that Captain 's Envied Throne : His Sacred Rights this Upstart does profane , Rivals his Greatness , and disturbs his Reign . How did this Alien his strong Realm invade , When in the progress which he lately made ; Disloyal City-Mobb , undue attendance paid . Methinks I see him bowing at the Head Of those that through the wondring Strand he led . With pains and charge he did that Pageant gain ; Nor was the Service of his Kindred vain : Their Interest , and his Man's , made up the Scoundrel Train . Huzzaing Crowds flockt to him in all parts , Which made his Sister name him King of Hearts . They kiss'd his proffered Hand , and Worship paid To that dull Calf which they an Idol made ; Wishing the Juncto which at London sate , Had made him Ruler of the New-form'd State , And cry'd , Ware King , if he e're dooms thy Fate . How goodly was the Show ! to see him train That Country-Rabble where himself does Reign , Like those that lately Rul'd this plunder'd Town : Such Officers such Discipline was shown . Yet their great Chief , whate're the Men endure , Like a wise Captain does himself secure . But this poor Fool did ill his life defend , Starv'd with the Javelin of Rake-hell Friend . This part he acted on his Rural Stage , The great Buffoon and Harlequin o' th' Age. When he return'd , his Subjects did attend Their sneaking Monarch to his Journeys end : And in the Front Two Lob-cock Earls did ride , With Nobler Rabble by his meager side . Go on vain Man , and grow in Infamy , Let Crimes Immortalize thy Memory . Long live the Ballads that extol thy Fame ; May unborn Mobile adore thy Name , And thee the Founder of their Kingdom claim . Still make such Speeches as you 've done of late , Still set the Crowd above the Magistrate . Let head-strong Malice , unrestrain'd by Shame , Prompt thee again the Clergy to defame ; Presume some other Patriots Case to draw , Write more False English to make Treason Law : The Faults of Atk●ns , and the Scribling Tribe ; Do thou their great Tautologist transcribe . To show thy Judgment , let thy Work be stol'n From the worst Books the present Age has known . Print lyes , disprov'd in Malson's History , To wound the Martyrs sacred Memory : Damn all his Royal Kindred in their turns , Rake their dead Ashes , and disturb their Urns : Against your Neighbours brandish still your Tongue , And turn once more Informer to the Throng , You 'll injure no man's Honour but your own ; Their Deeds are blameless , and their Worth is known : But thy Exploits make thee the publick Sport , Scorn'd by all Parties , pist upon at Court. His Name what Mortal can forbear to brand , Who disobey'd his Princes first Command , And stubbornly refus'd his Whisk-tails to disband ? Who with officious forwardness , unsent , Carries King James his final Complement : To him , whom now you with regret obey , If e're distrest , such Duty you will pay : Or if you fall into deserv'd disgrace , And on●● are kickt from dear Exchequer-place , You then will rise even at a French Alarm , And for Revenge and new Preferment Arm. ' Yet dont a Letter to thy Tennants write , ' Nor urge them for thy Interest to fight . ' Mourn not past Freedom , nor lost Property , ' Nor say Religion lies in Jeopardy ; ' That Providence will leave 'em in the lurch , ' Since Miracles are ceased in the Church , &c. Lest one of them should publish a Reply , Divulge your Non-sence , answer every lye , And your Weakest Calumnies untie ; You breach of Faith to those that serv'd you last , Will all your future gay pretences blast : You promised to sollicit full as hard , To get for them , as for your self , reward : Yet you , when Treachery had won the Day , Dismiss'd the weary'd Herd without their Pay , And like a savage Lyon bore away the Prey . You promis'd with those Men to fall or stand , Who lie unbury'd in a barren land , To feed wild Dogs under his Conduct gone , Who was a Traytor ripe in Forty One. In vain you 'l think to rendezvouze again , And have a fresh Supply of ready men . No Scrubbs ill arm'd , will mount unsaddled Steeds , Nor back the ancient Colts their Forest breeds . Straw-Boots no more shall make a Warlike Sight , No more shall you put naked Priests to flight ; No Bed-rid Zealots will Five Guineas give , No more shall you on their Collection live : 'T is time your fatal Government should end , Each Man bewails the Death of Child or Friend , And Orphans Cur●es all your Steps attend .
