A royal arbor (1663) | ||
The Occasion.
How the Warre began.
1
I'le tell you how the War began,The holy ones assembled,
17
Whose Consciences so trembled;
They pull'd the Bishops from their seats,
And set up ev'ry Widgeon;
The Scotch were sent for to do feats
With Oat-cakes and Religion.
2
They pluckt Communion-tables down,And broke our painted glasses;
They threw our Altars to the ground,
And tumbled down the Crosses;
They set up Cromwell and his Heir,
The Lord and Lady Claypole,
Because they hated Common-Prayer,
The Organ and the Maypole.
