“WHEN JOHN OF ZISCA WENT TO KINGDOM COME”
When John of Zisca went to Kingdom come
He left his skin to make his Church a drum,
To sound a rub-a-dub for Reformation,
To beat a general muster to Salvation.
He left his skin to make his Church a drum,
To sound a rub-a-dub for Reformation,
To beat a general muster to Salvation.
So Winchelsea, who soon will be no more,
Between two fires, Guy Fawkes and Scarlet Whore,
To Bigots of all ages and Conditions
Shall leave his noble Sheep-skin for Petitions.
