yE NEW ARCHBISHOP OR CANTERBURY RHYMES
Knaves, ring ye bellies, and good Syrs, make
Sing ye new ATchbishoppe of Canterbury
Now have ye gotten, for ye Church's prop,
My masters, something ike an Archbischopp.
Ye Archbishoppes of Canterbury, for longe,
Ye most they colde doe was doe noe wrong,
Hush up all bate, and smoothc down all strife,
Anything Onely for quiet life.
Now locke you in eeynct Austins chair 20 see,
Another sittyng than an etigie;
Prelate that Us up unto his worke,
A Doctor who schall nothing blink ne shirke.
Ye clerge, Il at wolde get the upper hande
OF the realms law, wis hee wyI withstande;
Aud exc ye crewe which mogeth every rope,
To set up Popery without ye Pope.
All Canterburys Archbishoppes, of late,
Have gone as doth clocke pulled by weight;
Or stood stuck fast in pomp, as pumpes in
drought,
Which soc as they be worked will only spout.
Thys one, cans doubt, a will and wit wyll shove,
Sthence hys Grace doth beara brain trowe
Which few before him, an the truth be said,
Have borne since When the last dyd lose his
head,
Mere use and wisdom schal in TAFT be scene,
Than to speak maudln words which no sense
mcaDe;
Thys wyll be an Archbishop of newe sorte,
For Canterbury not called Cant yn shorte.
There Us a saying which US old and true,
And soc give Dizzy, by that rule, his dse;
For, certes whatsoever els he lacke,
lie hath, at making Bysschops, good knack.
Soc may hee, yr the Commons turn hym out,
And Gladstone send him to ye righte about
say, with hys bowe, 81 gave you yonder man,
Choose an Archbishop better when ye can"
May Gladstone, that schal govern by.and by,
Live lurg but never have the chance TO try;
Ne who else Minister meanwhile may be,
Need 10 fyll CauteG bury's emptye See.
