The FUNERAL of FACTION.

Funerals perform'd by Squire S—ds and the best Shammy Gloves by Leonidas.

March 26 1741 ad of Parliament.

I.
GOD prosper long our noble King,
Our Lives and Safeties all;
A woeful Motion lately did
In Westminfter befall.

II.
To drive Sir R— from the State
Bold C—p—l took his Way,
The Child may laugh that is unborn
The Motion of that Day.

III.
This noble P— with Anger shock,
A Vow to God did make,
That he would rout Sir R— out,
And make all Place-men quake.

IV.
These Tidings to Sir R— came,
That on a certain Day
This doubtful P— and Squire S—ds
Would his Indictment lay.

V.
The Knight undaunted sent them Word,
He would affift their Sport,
And trufting on his Innocence,
Did to the Houſe reſort.

VI.
The angry Curs began to bark,
And ſnarl upon the Chair;
On Thursday they began their Cry,
When Day-light did appear.

VII.
The noify Yea's were on the Left,
Not able to endure:

The Nay's were muſter'd on the Right,
In their juſt Caufe ſecure.

VIII.
All Day they fought it hand to Hand,
The ſories left the Plain,
And, e're the Noon of Night was paſt,
Th'unruly Beaſt was flain.

IX.
Thus Faction yielded up the Ghoſt
In Rage, Defpair and Pain;
A rich old Widow then perceiv'd
Her darling Son was flain.

X.
Who ſtrait invites his neareſt Kin,
This diſmal Death to rue,
And the herſelf chief Mourner is;
All this we know is true.

XI.
This heavy News to Perkin came,
Alas! alas! ſaid he;

I've now no Hopes in old England,
The Pope muſt comfort me.

XII.
God fave the King, and bleſs the Land
In Plenty, Joy and Peace;
And grant henceforth that foul Debate
In either Houſe may ceafe.
