OR A Poem on the Turk's defeat at Vienna.
Hold Passenger and gently jog;
I'll tell rhee news of Hamon-gog:
A Beast-like Man, half Horse and Hogg:
Was ape to Alexander.
Who (confidently) did presume,
That he could conquer Christendome,
And overthrow the Pope of Rome;
And be the World's Commander.

That he could conquer Christendome,
And overthrow the Pope of Rome;
And be the World's Commander.
Therefore he did together call,
His Janizaries great and small:
And he on Germany did fall:
And camp'd against Vienna.
But as his Mufty up did rear,
This new Seraglio, in the Air,
The Christians panted forth a pray'r,
Did fright him like Gehenna.

And he on Germany did fall:
And camp'd against Vienna.
But as his Mufty up did rear,
This new Seraglio, in the Air,
The Christians panted forth a pray'r,
Did fright him like Gehenna.
There came an Army from the East,
Resolv'd the Riddle of the Beast,
Made Magog march, and fly in hast,
And leave his Tools behind him.
But now (as mad in great dispair)
He threatens Pope, and Prince of Air:
Therefore let Christians all take care,
For chains of Balls to bind him.

And leave his Tools behind him.
But now (as mad in great dispair)

Therefore let Christians all take care,
For chains of Balls to bind him.
His Holiness, and Majesty
Call'd Christian; can not well deny,
To aid the German with supply,
That never will surrender.
Then Hogan Mogan, Sweed and Dane,
Unite your Forces all with Spain:
Let Brittain's Monarch rule the main;
And prove true Faith's Defender.

He's a Pedantick, Bedlame-Tom,
That fights a Neighbour King at home,
To pimp the Turk, to Christendome:
To cause the fire run further,
He to Grand Seignior quotes an ace,
That Ottoman may turn the chase,
And root out every Royal race,
And Loyal Subjects Murther.

The wandering World see with their eyes,
Who 'tis himself that deifies,
The Father and the Son denies,
And since the Beast is wounded:
Pray live in peace and love, at home,
And fight the Foe of Christendome,
That he whose right it is may come,
And Babel be confounded.
