The brave House of Commons next for him did send,
To hear what the Block-headly Fool wou'd pretend,
Who humbly request, that they wou'd him befriend,

One day he declar'd they were near London Town,
But the very next Day into Wales they were flown,
Such nimble Heel'd Witnessess never were known,
Which no Body can deny.
When being Examin'd about his sham Plot,

Perhaps the Young Rogue had his Lesson forgot,
Which no Body can deny.

Ask'd for a Commission to march into Wales 9
And be Chang'd to a Herse, as Rogues goes to Goals,

To go search for the Men who were not to be found,
They immediately sent him back to Fleet Pound,
Which no Body can deny.
From the Fleet to the Cart may he quickly advance
To learn the true Steps of old Oates's New Dance,
And something beside, or it is a great Chance,
Which no Body can deny.
He has made it a Trade to be doing of Wrong,
In Swearing, and Lying, and Cheating so long,
For all his Life time, he's been at it ding dong,
Which no Body can deny.
Welch Taffy he raves and crys Splutterdenails,
He's abused hur Highness with Lies and with Tales,
Hur will hang hur if e'er hur can catch hur in Wales t
Which no Body will deny.
