[Lewis of France hath been the Protestants Scourge]

Lewis of France hath been the Protestants Scourge,
And Lewis of London is the Papists Drudg;
One plays the Tyrant to uphold his Lust,
And London's Villain doth betray his Trust.
Tyrant and Traitor Lewis is no less,
And Mouth and Clodpate do make up the mess:
Close up the Poll, or Lewis, by this Light,
Your own shall off, to do the City right.
 

Sir Simon Lewis then Sheriff of London.
