Sir T. J's SPEECH TO HIS Wife and Children.

I.

DEar Wife, let me have a Fire made, I'll tell you such News will make you all glad, The like for another is scarce to be had. This it is to be Learned and Witty.

II.

First, (Butler, do you a Glass of Wine bring,) I'll tell you all the great Love of my King, Which is a dainty, curious fine thing. This it is, &c.

III.

A Wise Learned Serjeant at Law I was made, And a dainty fine Coif was put on my Head, VVhich is heavier far than a hundred of Lead. This it is, &c.

IV.

But soon after this I was made the Recorder, To keep the VVorshipful Rabble in order, And wore a Red Gown with long Sleeves and Border. This it is, &c.

V.

What Justice I did, my dear VVife, you can tell; •…•…ight or wrong, I spar'd none, like the Divel in Hell; •…•…t, Guilty or not, I sent all to Bridewell. This it is, &c.

VI.

•…•…less it were those that greased my Fist, •…•…o them I gave Licence to cheat whom they list, •…•…or 'twas only those my Mittimus miss'd.) This it is, &c.

VII.

•…•…t then the King dy'd, which caused a pother; •…•…o I went to condole with the new King, his Brother, •…•…Vith Sorrow in one Hand, and Grief in the other. This it is, &c.

VIII.

•…•…or an Ignorant Judge I was call'd by the King •…•…o the Chequer-Court, 'tis a wonderful thing, Of which in short time the whole Nation did ring. This it is, &c.

IX.

•…•…y Great James I was rais'd to the Common-Pleas Bench, 〈…〉〈…〉 Cause he saw I had exquisite Politick Sense, •…•…Vhich his Wisdom perceiv'd in the Future Tense. This it is, &c.

X.

•…•…t Sarum Five hundred Pounds I have gotten, •…•…o save Malefactors from swinging in Cotton, •…•…or which they we hang'd, and now almost rotten. This it is, &c.

XI.

•…•…t now, my dear Love comes the Cream of the Jest, •…•…or the King would take off the Oaths and the Test; •…•…hich I told all his People would be for the best. This it is, &c.

XII.

He had my Opinion, That 'twas in his Power To destroy all the Laws in less time than an hour, •…•…or which I may chance to be sent to the Tower. This it is, &c.

XIII.

And now to Magdalen College I come, VVhere we turn'd out most, but kept in some, •…•…hat so a New College of Priests might have room. This it is, &c.

XIV.

And so by that means we left the Door ope, To turn out the Bishops and let in the Pope, •…•…or which we have justly deserved a Rope. This it is to be Learned and Witty.
