A Western Wonder
Do you not know, not a Fortnight ago,
How they brag'Dof a Western Wonder?
When a Hundred and Ten, slew five Thousand Men,
With the help of Lightning and Thunder?
There Hopton was Slain, again and again,
Or else my Author did lye;
With a new Thanks giving , for the Dead who are Living,
To God, and his Servant Chidleigh .
But now on which side was this Miracle try'd,
I hope we at last are even;
For Sir Ralph and his Knaves are risen from their Graves,
To Cudgel the Clowns of Devon .
And there Stamford came, for his Honour was Lame
Of the Gout three Months together;
But it prov'd, when they Fought, but a running Gout,
For his Heels were lighter than ever.
For now he out-runs his Arms and his Guns,
And leaves all his Mony behind him.
But they follow after, unless he take Water,
At Plymouth again they will find him.
What Reading hath cost, and Stamford hath lost,
Goes deep in the Sequestrations;
These Wounds will not Heal, with your new Great Seal,
Nor Jepson's Declarations.
Now, Peters , and Case , in your Prayer and Grace
Remember the new Thanks giving ;
Isaac and his Wife, now Dig for your Life,
Or shortly you'll Dig for your Living.
