THE

   PARLIAMENTS

         KNELL.

FArewell old Parliament of, ſeaven years ſtanding
Now make your teſtament: ther's no disbanding
That very Rebell.route your firſt upholders,
Are come to pull you out by head and ſhoulders.

Come let us ſing ding dong, till we ſhake the ſteeple,
This is a fine new ſong, Come a long good people,
Come help to ring their knell, they n'ere refuſe you,
You needs muſt uſe 'em well, that ſo did uſe you.

Now all our virtuall Kings muſt be depoſed,
Their tricks, and jugling things are all diſcloſed.,
Their vowes, and their reſults, now cannot ſave 'em,
And for their cloſe conſults, the Devill will have them.

King Charles is looſe at laſt, the Scots have ſold him,
And when you had him faſt, you could not hold him,
He is now on his way, hee'l no more ſue t' yee
Fairfax hath playd faire play, and done his duty.

Your proud Presbytery Cannot protect you
Your wife directory Cannot direct you,
We ſhall have Biſhops ſtore,with Copes and Miters
Buffe coats ſhall preach no more, nor Prieſts be fighters.
Your Wedneſdayes and your wayes of humiliation.
Your ſtrange thanks giving dayes, of prophanation
Now muſt be laid aſide,Chriſtmas is loſt elſe
Old Eaſter Whitſontide, and the Apoſtles,

Your propoſitions and Qualifications
Your Proteſtations and your abjurations.
Your Covenant and your Oath, of Nonadherence,
Will make the Houſes both to flie for feare hence

Now down with Goldſmiths Hall that Golden Idol
That dreadfull Tribunall that did decide all.
Let's have our wives again, now you have fleee'd'em
They'll ſerve delinquent men, though you have ſqueezd' em.

Riſe up you philiſtins leave of your humming
Repent you of your ſins King Charles is Coming.
Fairfax and Crom well too are at Saint Albone
They'll knock down more of you, then Sampſons jaw-bone.
