Songs Compleat,
Ye Parents all that Children have,
And ye that have none yet ;
Preserve your Children from the Grave,
And teach them at Home to sit.
For had these at a Sermon been,
Or else upon Dry Ground ;
Why then I would never have been seen,
If that they had been Drown'd.
Even as a Huntsman ties his Dogs,
For fear they should go from him ;
So tie your Children with Severities Clog,
Untie 'em, and you'll undo 'em.
God Bless our Noble Parliament,
And rid them from all Fears ;
God Bless th' Commons of this Land,
And God Bless some o'th' Peers.
Phil. Porter's FareweL To the same Tune.
GOOD People all, I pray give Ear,
My Words concern ye much ;
I will repeat a Hector's Life,
Pray God ye be not such.
There was a Gallant in the Town,
A Brave and Jolly Sporter ;
Ther was no Lady in the Land,
But he knew how to Court her.
His Person Comely was and Tall,
More Comely have been few Men ;
Which made him well belov'd of Men,
But more belov'd of Women.
