A Pageant of policy as fine as may be,  
That's gone to be Shown at the manor of Raby,  
Which nobody can deny.   

There was never such a prostitute Sight,  
That e'er profaned this purer Light,  
A Hocus Pocus juggling Knight,

Another doubt-solving Oedipus,  
But the Parliament made him a very Quibus,

His lying wonders and Miracles,  
Are turned into Parliament Shackles,

With his Arms folded and his Brows bent,  
Like Achitophel to the Parliament,

Or if any his counsels behind do remain,  
The house may be called the Labour in Vain,  
which nobody can deny.
