The ADVICE.

WOuld you be famous and renoun'd in Story, And after having run a Stage of Glory, Go straight to Heaven, and not to Purgatory: This is the time. Would you surrender your Dispensing Power, And send the Western Hangman to the Tower, From whence he'll find it difficult to scowre: This, &c. Would you send Father Pen, and Father Lob, Assisted by the Poet Laureat Squab, To teach obedience passive to the Mobb: This, &c. Would you let Reverend Father Peters know What thanks the Church of England to him owe For favours past, he did on them bestow: This, &c. Would you with expedition send away Those four dim Lights made Bishops t'other day, To Convert Indians in America: This, &c. Would you the rest of that Bald-pated Train No longer flatter with thin hopes of Gain, But send them to St. Omers back again: This, &c. Would you (instead of holding Birchen Tool) Send Pulton to be lash'd at Butby's School, That he in Print no longer play the Fool: This, &c. Would you that Jack of all Religions scare, Bid him for Hanging speedily prepare, That Harry H—s may visit Harry Care; This, &c. Would you let Ireland no more fear Macdonnel, And all the Rabble under Philem O Neale, And Clarendon again succeed Tyrconnel; This, &c. Would you Court Ear-wiggs banish from your Ears, Those Carpet Knights, and Interested Peers, And rid the Kingdoms from impending fears; This, &c. Would you at once make all the Hogan Mogans yield, And be at once their Terrour and our Shield, And not appear by Proxy in the Field; This, &c. Would you no more a Womans Counsel take, But love your Kingdoms for your Kingdoms sake, Make Subjects love, and Fnemies to quake; This, &c.
