Titus' Telltruth: OR, The PLOT-FOUNDER Confounded. A Pleasant New SONG. To the Tune of, Hail to the Myrtle Shades. HAil to the Knight of the Post; To Titus the Chief of the Town; Titus who vainly did boast of the Salamancha-Gown; Titus who saw the world o'er, from the Tower of Valadolid, Yet stood in the White-horse Door, and swore to it, like the Creed. [2] Titus at Watton in May, To Titus at Islington; And Titus the self same day Both Here and There again. Titus who ever swore Truth, His politic Plots to maintain, And never yet bawked an Oath, When called to the Test again. [3] Then Titus was Meekest of all, When Never a Penny in's Purse, And oft did on Pickering call, His Charity to Imburse. But when He swore Damnable Oaths, And Lying esteemed no Sin, Then Titus was One of those Whom the Devil had entered in. [4] Then Titus the Frown of Heaven, And Titus a Plague upon Earth; Titus who'll ne'er be Forgiven, Cursed from his Fatal Birth; Titus the Curse and the Doom Of the Rich and the Poor Man too; Oh Titus, thou Shred of a Loom, What a plague dost thou mean to do? [5] Titus an Orthodox Beast, And Titus a Presbyter Tall; Titus a Popish Priest, And Titus the shame of all; Titus who ne'er had the skill The Wise with his Plots to deceive; But Titus whose Tongue can kill; Whom Nature has made a Slave. [6] Titus the Light of the Town, Where Zealots and Whigs do resort; Titus the Shame of the Gown, And Titus the Scorn of the Court; Titus who Spewed out the Truth, To Swallow the Covenant; Yet never blushed at an Oath, Whom Lying has made a Saint. [7] Yet Titus believed could be Against any Popish Lord; Whilst still against S S —y The Witness and Truth's abhorred; So Titus got Credit and Gold For Lying, nor thought it a Sin; But against Dissenters bold The Truth is not worth a pin. [8] Thus Titus Swore on apace, 'Gainst those whom he never did see; Yet Titus with brazen Face Would our Preserver be. But as Titus the foremost in Trust Discovered this Mystery: May Titus so be the First That leads to the Triple-Tree. LONDON: Printed for ALLEN BANKS, 1682.
