yar Song, my Lord, I hope 'tis boody, or else 'tis not werth a Feart. _All._ He, he, he. SONG, sung by my Lord _Lambert_. _A Pox of the States-man that's witty, That watches and plots all the sleepless Night, For seditious Harangues to the _Whigs_ of the City, And piously turns a Traitor in spite. Let him wrack, and torment his lean Carrion, To bring his sham-Plots about, Till Religion, King, Bishop, and Baron, For the publick Good, be quite routed out._ _Whilst we that are no Politicians, But Rogues that are resolute, bare-fac'd and great, Boldly head the rude Rabble in open Sedition, Bearing all down before us in Church and in State.

SCENE IV. _Flat._ Enter _Page_. _Page._ _Cock_, Here must I wait, to give my Lady notice when my Lord approaches;-- The fine Gentleman that is alone with her, gave me these two fine Pieces of Gold, and bad me buy a Sword to fight for the King withal; and I'm resolv'd to lay it all out in a Sword, not a penny in Nickers, and fight for the Heroicks as long as I have a Limb, if they be all such fine Men as this within. But hark, sure I hear some coming.-- [Exit.
