(35) Page 23 - Upon the pyramid
Pleasant and Diver live. 23
Six Pottles of Lard,
Squeez'd from a Rock hard,
With Nine Turkey Eggs, each as long as a Yard,
With a Pudding of Hail-stones well bak'd in a Pan,
And you shall Conceive without help of a Man.
These Med'cines are good,
And approved have stood,
Well temper'd together with a Pottle of Blood,
Squeez'd from a Grashopper and the Nail of a Swan, j
To make Maids Conceive without help of a Man.
Upon the PYRAMID. By Mr. Ratcliffe.
To the foregoing Tune.
TV /f Y Masters and Friends, and good People draw
For here's a New Sight which you must not escape,
A Stately young Fabrick that cost very dear,
Renown'd for strait Body and Barbary shape ;
A Pyramid much high'r,
Than a Steeple or Spire,
By which you may guess there has been a Fire.
Ah London tttadst better have built New Burdello's,.
T encourage She-Traders a?id lusty Young Fellows.
No sooner the City had lost their old Houses,
But they set up this Monument wonderful tall ;
Tho' when Christians were Burnt, as Fox plainly shews
us,
There was nothing set up but his Book in the HalL
And yet these Men can't
In their Conscience but grant,
That a House is unworthy compar'd to a Saint.
