What she is in her owne-shape. 2. What she doth figuratively signify. 3. Her malignant tricks and qualities. depiction of Prince Rupert's monkey Printed for E. Johnson. 164●. A description of Prince rupert's She-Monkey. IT is a mad theme to describe Prince rupert's Monkey, his she-monkey: and when you see her drawn out in lively colours, you will hardly forbear laughing. Three thing are observable in this monkey: 1. What she is in her own shape. 2. What she doth figuratively signify. 3. Her malignant tricks and qualities. It is thought that she was formerly some proud'd●me, that pulling up her , and setting her lookingglass a good distance from her, would needs view her white belly in that imitating mirror: Whereupon the gods being angry at her obscene wantonness, did convert her into the shape of a lascivious she-monkey. Her riveled face hath some few thin hairs upon it, and if she had but a muffler under her chin, she would look like an old Bawd, yet her eyes are full of lust, and as red as two rubies which she nimbly turns about upon every occasion, and thinks herself as handsome as the fairest Court Lady, when we was in her green or yellow gown▪ There was a young fellow, a countryman, that took her for a young Gentlewoman, and sent a letter to her by his father. The Ladies at the Court were that day in all their bravery, because the good news of Peace began then to be generally reported and believed. They had no sooner made their courtesies one unto another, and wished the morning might grow into a happy day, but prince rupert's Monkey, which then kept close unto the chimney-corner, (for the morning was very cold) began to chatter with her tooth her compliments amongst them, angry as it seems that she no better was observed. The Ladies began to laugh outright, and speaking fair unto the Monkey, she being recomforted, began to deal amongst them those accustomed postures which expressed most content. This the old man perceiving, proud of hope that some good fortune might now attend his son, scraping out two 〈◊〉 then country congres, presented this letter to the monkey, which she perceiving, first looked on one side of it, and then upon the other, & taking some delight either in the whiteness of the paper, or in the manner of the infolding of the letter, first took it into one hand and gazed upon it, and then into another, and according to the natural expressions of that creature, she seemed by the noise she made to be very joyous of it, & did much hug the present. At length weary of what she seemed so much to affect and full of mischief, as of haughtiness, she took the letter and tore it all in pieces, which the Country man beholding thought within himself, that in disdain of his son's letter she had made a Tailor's bill of it, and torn it to flitters instead of discharging it: at last when he understood that it was Prince rupert's Monkey, he went home and told his son that his Mistress was neither better nor worse, but a malignant Monkey, for I will swear quoth he that I never saw such a strange fashioned creature in my life; For she hath a kind of a Round-head as smooth as an apple, and if there be any Round-head this Monkey is one, her brow is low and wrinkled hanging over her little eyes, her nose that's flat is very short, her cheeks are lean and lank, and her thin lips do hardly cover her teeth, the complextion of her whole face is swarthy covered with hair green as moss, and lastly she hides her head in a black bag, moreover she wears a green or yellow gown trimmed about with lace, & a girdle about her middle by the which she is fastened to the na●e of a wheel, for the Prince is full of fears and jealousies that if she were lose she would steal away into some wood and live there upon nuts and apples, What is under her coats is unknown, but certainly if her coats were lifted up you might see her Monkey as they call it. I remember in my youthful days when I danced with the country Lasses on the town green, I had the happiness to view some of there commodities, and they looked just like Prince rupert's Monkeys mouth, or as an ancient author says, like mumping things; and so her honesty I believe 'tis as much as nothing, for like the old woman she keeps her tail always wagging, and being her own (as the whore said) she thinks she may use it as she list, so that I believe she is a very wicked and profane Monkey, Prince rupert's Dog who had bewitched the Country man's son to believe that Prince Ruperts Monkey was a little young Gentlewoman took off his spell again, and opened the eyes of both their understandings; and when he heard the Countryman make this description of his Master's Monkey, he stood by in a corner and laughs as heartily as ever Dog could do; for a Monkey, though in a fine coat, is but a Monkey, and so much concerning what she is in her own shape. What she doth figuratively signify. A Monkey for her petulant and wanton tricks may resemcle a wanton creature, I will not say a whore (for that name will make the Devil blush) but a necessary instrument of recreation, unto which pretty pieces of delight it is no doubt but Prince Robert doth stand well affected, and though a soldier, he doth love the soft embraces of a fair laid, since Mars himself did scorn to dally with Venus, Aeneas had a Dido, and it is like that Prince Rupert is not only a soldier but a courtier, it being natural to the most witty and valiant to love a woman. But let that pass, certain it is that the Prince doth love this Monkey exceedingly; and the Monkey doth by all her gestures and actions tempt the prince to lassivious desires, and if a puritan should behold her he would verily affirm that she were the little whore of Babylon, for indeed she speaks nothing but the language of the beast. When the prince is in sight, she will cast a sleering look towards him, then throw her little eyes another way, then look upon the prince again, than which as if she would tempt him to give her a private meeting, which are all lascivious tricks, and some time she affords a temptation to the prince by clapping her hand on her buttock and scratching it as if she were troubled with the lustful itch, whereby perhaps she makes the prince think of another buttock, so that lustful pictures or a wr … in wanton postures cannot more strongly move the imagination, than the bawdy Monkey doth by her mowing mopping tricks. Some times she will imitate the sitting of women by the fire side on a low stool, with her knees up to her mouth, and her hands fastened about her knees, a pre●ty wanton posture, and such as may beget a lascivious fancy in the dullest conceit, than she will tumble over her head & let all her coats f●ll about he ears, so that ye may see all for nothing; Then again she will look melancholy as if she were a sad widow mourning in a black bag for the decease of her husband, though indeed sorrow cannot draw a tear from her working eyes, & then she will appear like a holy sister, casting her eyes, with a silent gleg upwards, but presently her devotions are ended, if she behold but a red sided Apple, for she loves them better than Religion or liberty of the Subject. Then you shall behold her tumbling on her back with her legs spread wide abroad, and it is thought that some women have learned their tumbling tricks from Prince rupert's Monkey, she differs from your feminine good fellows, and that is, she cannot sing any amorous songs; yet she'll take tobacco & break the pipes, drink wine and break the glasses, and roar as well as any singing Siren, and on a pipe, (if she get it in her mouth) she will perfectly express the tune of Me have been in England. Where I have seen such sport, The calling of the Parliament Hath quite put down the Court. And 'tis thought that if she were but admitted into a conventicle, she would make all the Brownists dance after her pipe to the tune of sweet sister Ruth come Kiss me now; Thus this monkey is a Kind of movable body that can cringe and compliment like a Venetian courtesan, though her face be not so handsome; yet all her gestures and postures are wanton and full of provocation, she being nothing else (as many others are) but a skin full of lust; her eyes are full of lascivious glances, and generally all her actions do administer some temptation or other; so that she cannot choose but work upon Prince rupert's affections; and if he he any thing effeminate as it is not to be doubted but he is forward enough in expressions of love as well as valour; for as the Spanish painter wrote in a Church window sunt with a C. which was an abomination, so her name is an emblem of wantounes, sunt written in that manner being often called a Monkey, which is a kind of profanation, and thus you see what prince rupert's Monkey doth nominally and figuratively signify, she being in all her postures the picture of a lose wanton, who is often figuratively called a Monkey. Her malignant tricks and qualities. First, she hath never a good condition: for find a whore without bad qualities, and a monkey without mad tricks, and you may hang them both together. She is most certainly a great malignant, & cares not how the Cause goes forward, so she may sit on her tail end crack-nuts. She is unconstant, and will leap from place to place, as the Brownist doth from point to point in his Sermons, and it may be supposed that she learned her giddy actions from her half cousins, which are Baboons. Violent she is in all her actions, and would tear the Mitre from the Bishops, and pull the Crown from the sacred brow of Majesty, if she were permitted to come near them, for she doth love to rend, tear, and demolish all things, as the Brownists do. Her diet is a le mode de France, that is, after the French fashion, for she loves kick-shaws, and dairty novelties, and hath a constant appetite to delectable things, as if her mouth were made only for a Lenton mill to grind figs, almonds, and raisens', and it is doubtful whether Ladies instructed her, or she taught them to waste time in devouring sugar-plums and sweetmeats, for she will eat more than a parish Midwife. And because she is a Court Delinquent, and ready to play shrewd turns there, if she be not prevented; she is therefore tied to the nave of a wheel, which she rowls before 〈◊〉 as Prince Rupert tumbles about the wheel of Fortune, and ro●●l● his Fate before him, pillaging and plundering wheresoever he comes. And now we talk of plundering, this Monkey is by nature a notable plunderer, for if she were put into a Study of Classical Authors or into one of the shops in Pauls-Churchyard, do you think she would read any of the Books? No, but in the Study she would tear and rend all the papers and letters that she could find, and all the books, than she would spill the ink upon the table, and pour out all the sand-dust. If Prince Rupert should but let her raise an Army of Monkeys, or transport them hither by shipping from beyond Sea, it is thought that this Monkey with an Army of Malignant Monkeys would come and plunder all the Costermongers houses in London, and all the Fruiterer's stalls; and moreover, she and her Forces would plunder all the Lady's closerts, and make vile work amongst their sweetmeats; but yet she would be more merciful than Prince Rupert, for she would take away no gold or silver, but nuts, cakes, apples, gingerbread, and the like, should be all her pillage, which she would seize upon. Besides all these tricks, she is a cunning juggler, for she can cast a mist before soldiers eyes, so that when they think they have gotten their pay in their own hands, if they do but open their hands, they shall find nothing in them but a rusty musket or a pike. Morever, if she should come into a Church, if she did but breathe or blow upon a Service-book, and afterward bid a Brownist open it, he would swear that all the leaves were full of nothing but Crosses, Images, Beads, Surplices, Hoods, Coaps, and all kind of Popish Ceremonies. It is thought that she made the Adamites walk naked, so that the holy sisters thought it a divine innocence to show their Monkeys to their zealous brethren. The Family of love had the same zeal to monkifie themselves, and through the provocation of the spirit (which they called holy zeal) they became as lustful as monkeys, and none must be admitted into their conventicles, but the monkified brethren and sisters of the family. Thus P. rupert's Monkey is a kind of old, little, wrinkled, old faced, petulant, wanton, and malignant gentlewoman, the little whore of Babylon in a green coat, that sometimes rides upon the beast that is Prince rupert's dog, that tempts the Prince by her lascivious gestures, to think oftener on a woman than he would do, though I believe he dare stand for the feminine cause, and hath plundered some Ladies cabynits as well as Country towns. She is indeed a skin-ful of folly, a malignant ancient gentlewoman, a Cavalier-monkey, a juggler, that hath turned the University-caps to Court-feathers. It is fit therefore she should be delivered up, and baited to death this Lent, before the well-affected brethren; who without doubt will grant this to be a considerable motion concerning Prince rupert's malignant Monkey: Prince rupert's Monkey is a toy, That doth exceed his dog called Boy, Which through dogged folly, Both barks and bites But this delights, The Prince when's melancholy. He puts sweetemeats and sugar plumbs Into his Monkeys tothlesse gums, Which open like an oyster, For he doth esteem, A wench I mean, More than a Nun in a Cloister. And all his Cavaleeroes bold, That live at Oxford uncontrolled, When as they are half drunkish, Their heat to quench, Will have a wench, That Lusty is and Monkish. FJNJS.
