And Salamanca gave him Rules,

Degree he never took, but in Fail.

Another Loyal Song, entitled "Truth
Triumphant," May, 1685, begins,
"There was a Doctor of Antient
Fame, with a Sa la-manca la," de-
scribes Oates in the fourth verse,

His Nose was made of shining Brass,
With a Sa-la-manca la,

With a Mouth in the middle of his Face,

When all the Pack was on the scent,

This Blood-hound he all the Beagles out-went,
With a Sa-la-manca la.]

"History of his Own Times" men-
tioned and quoted, 303, 672, etc.;
the bad opinion held by Macaulay

of him (although biassed in his
favour by Whig partizanship), 611;
by Walter Scott, 713; by Lieut.-
Col. T. Wilson, 971; a contem-
porary epitaph on him, intended for
his monument, worth repeating here,
since it slipt out of our text :-

Here Sarum lies, of late so wise

And learned as Tom Aquinas;

Lawn sleeves he wore, but was no more

A Christian than Socinus.

Oaths, pro and con, he swallowed down;

Lov'd gold like any layman;

Wrote, preach'd, and pray'd; and yet betray'd
God's holy word for Mammon.

Of every vice he had a spice,
Although a rev'rend prelate :

And liv'd and died, if not belied,
A true dissenting zealot.

If such a soul to Heav'n should stroll,
And 'scape old Satan's clutches;
We then presume there may be room,
For Marlborough and his Duchess.

66

If objection be raised hypercritically
(as in the case of Ben Jonson and
Joshua Sylvester, both claiming to
be lay-men in a different sense from
lyric-writers), the same answer can
be pleaded to Why, that's not
rhyme!" "No, but it's truth. In
State Poems, 1704, iii. 372, is The
Brawny Bishop's Complaint against
Queen Mary's ladies, beginning
"When Burnet perceiv'd the beauti-
ful Dames:" to the tune of Pack-

ington's Pound. See, properly,

Scot (The Rebel) = Archibald Camp-
bell, Duke of Argyle, who may
have been referred to in our Narra-
tive of the Popish-Plot (not part iii.
seventh verse, which means Philip,
Lord Wharton), part iv. verse ninth,
but the allusion is obscure, 691; he
is more plainly indicated as Argile
the Rebel Scot, with all the Factious
Crew, In bloody Arms are got, but
see what did ensue, For all his hope
he found a Rope did quickly end
his reign, For the Plot's so rent and
torn, 'twill never be mended again;"

quoted, 703. See Plot rent.

Sirs," were written by Stephen Col-

Wedding.

Selden, "the solid" John, 746; the
original collector of many ballads
that now form the Pepysian, Introd.

XV.

Serini, in contemporary repute, 867.
(Not improbably it may have been
used in our ballad-text as a synonym
for Tekeli see Teckly. He had
married the Princess Ragotski, the
young widowed daughter of Count
Serini. The imperial Court of
Austria had opposed this union, but
after Tekeli's victories, and union
with the Ottoman power, the im-
perial consent was gained. The
allusions in our ballad to "Falls of
Empires and of States" become
thus appropriate in reference to him,
whose Serini's Feats" were classed
as mountebank extravagance.)
