SONG, by                    
First Line: I'll sail upon the dog star
Last Line: Let all the nation judge it.


I'le sail upon the Dog-Star,
and then persue the Morning;
I'le chase the Moon 'till it be Noon,
but I'le make her leave her Horning.

I'le climb the frosty Mountain,
and there I'le coyn the Weather;
I'le tear the Rain-bow from the Sky,
and tye both ends together.

The Stars pluck from their Orbs too,
and crowd them in my Budget;
and whether I'm a roaring Boy,
let all the Nation judge it.
