And only a cross on the other set forth;
By which we may learn, it falls to our part
Two crosses to have for one fit of mirth!



Ballad: The Anarchie, Or The Blest Reformation Since 1640



Being a new song, wherein the people expresse their thankes and
pray for the reformers.

To be said or sung of all the well-affected of the kingdome of
England, and dominion of Wales, before the breaking up of this
unhappy Parliament.

[From the King's Pamphlets, British Museum. It is printed but
incorrectly in the "Rump Songs," ed. 1665, under the title of "The
Rebellion."]

To a rare new Tune. (Oct. 24, 1648.)


Now that, thankes to the powers below!
We have e'ne done out our doe,
The mitre is downe, and so is the crowne,
And with them the coronet too;
Come clownes, and come boyes, come hober-de-hoyes,
Come females of each degree;
