SONG.
[The Cestrian Roach will prove a fine Fish]
The Cestrian Roach will prove a fine Fish,And Game not in season will make a good Dish
For the Court of St. Germains, if serv'd up in state,
With forty four Covers of Cornish Church-Plate;
And guarded by Scots, that are highly provok'd,
With design that a Female of Note may be choak'd.
The Sauce takes its Relish from the Hogo of How,
And S---r the Coals of the Kitchin will blow.
409
And all the High-fliers will soon say Amen.
