For such being thither brought have straight ways died Yet they with Lice a loathsome plague are curst Of all the ten Egyptian Plagues the worst And though their fingers itch to be about them Do what they can they cannot live without them 85. Q. Whence do the Scots derive their name I pray A. From Scotos a Greek word as Authors say Which Darkness signifies in that they quite Live Northward more remote from Phoebus light If then they are so dark 't is strange of late They should presume for to illuminate Those two transcendent and resplendent eyes Of Englands famous Universities Those inexhaust pure founts of life eternal And raise such Locusts from the Abiss infernal To muddifie and to disturb the same To Gods dishonour and to their own shame Yet they pretend but we to God refer it VVhat they did was by th' infusion of the Spirit But if it were by a sp'rit it was a mad one Or as St. John the Devill calls Abadon 86. Q. And whence did the perfidious Scots descend A. From the Jews linage as I apprehend For as the Jews by their strange laws we read VVhere e're they came Sedition still did breed Ev'n so the Scottish Clergy by their factions Bred in our English Church these late distractions And as the Jews of Concubines kept store So ev'ry Scot keeps commonly an whore And as the Jews all swines flesh held impure So can the Jewish Scots no Pork endure And as the Jews did treach'rous Judas pay Our Christ their Lord and Master to betray And to reign over them would not abide him But guiltless with great fury crucified him Ev'n so the Scots our good first Charlemain Their native King would not permit to reign But Judas-like when they had him in hold And might have sav'd deliver'd up for Gold Nay worse then Judas they would nev'r restore The perditorious hire they had before Nor do repent that execrable deed A stigmatized shame to all their seed No they 'l be hang'd first yet for cursed pelf They 'l hang themselves as Judas hang'd himself God bless our King from those perfidious Scots And from all Traytors perditorious Plots And send him long propitiously to Reign O're his Dominions all of Great Britain Amen A merry May Song for this Year of our Lord 1662. To a pleasant Tune 1. LEt us fing and rejoyce With a chearful voice And unto the Lord let us pray That the heavenly Powers Would send down sweet showres To gather the Flow'rs in the May. 2. Come now fresh Aurora And fair Goddess Flora Clear Phoebus to shine on the earth Come Cynthia bright Play thy Midwife's part right And be aiding all to this new birth 3. For Tellus it seems Once ev'ry year teems About this moneth of May She brings forth her birth With great joy and mirth And is deckt with most Royal Array 4. Of all times in the Year It plain doth appear That May is the chief and the prime The Fawns now are tripping The Lambs and Kids skipping And making all merry pastime 5. In the pleasant Spring The pretty Birds sing Making a sweet Melody They hop and they flye From tree unto tree Delightful to eye and to eye 6. Let us walk in the Fields And see what May yields Most pleasant and sweet is the Air The Meadows are green And the Leasows are seen All over neat decent and fair 7. The fruiful grounds VVith blossoms abounds And fresh colours manifold And are for delight For sent and for sight Most pleasant to behold 8. The Primrose meet And the Cowslip so sweet The Harebel the Crows-foot and Dasie The Bolt upright And the Lady smock-white You may there take up if it please ye 9. Now true Lovers may In the fields sport and play And give their sweet-hearts a green Gown And who can come to it And Yet will not do it I count him an absolute Clown 10. In troops now out-flies The labouring Bees And abroad in the fields they do strive From blossoms and buds To gather their Goods And Honey bring home to their Hive 11. The Philomel sings And the VVoods and Groves rings With her notes so shrill pleasant and pretty And the Cuckow is glad Though some be horn-mad For to hear him in Town or in City 12. And now let us pray To the Lord that he may Bless our good King Charlemain From Plots and Conspiracies That free from all Heresies He may the true Gospel maintain Amen FINIS These Books with many others are Printed for M.
