Classic Poem

The Tables spread & they begin
The Beefe & Pheasant enter in.
The Banes are askt & thus youl know 'em:
I great Lee take thee Owen;
In a Familiar stile to say,
I Godfray take thee Jeffray.
Thus the Riddle weele untrusse,
The Scotch Hobby & Bucephalus.
How Davids pibble twists the Theam
And crusht Goliahs lusty Beame.
Thus they are shuffeled & packt,
An ordinance foyling and an Act.
How Crumwells handful prunes & blotts.
Whole Legions & Herds of Scots.
The Italian monster was outvy'd
By the little Brother in his side
Thus 'tis prophesyed by the Wizard,
A goodly Capon & his Gizard.
