Which nobody, etc.

A brewer may do what he will,
And rob the Church and State, to sell
His soul unto the devil in hell;
Which nobody, etc.



Ballad: The Arraignment Of The Devil For Stealing Away President
Bradshaw



John Bradshaw, who had presided over the court of justice which
condemned Charles I. to the scaffold, and who by his extreme
republican principles had rendered himself obnoxious to Cromwell,
began again to be distinguished in public affairs after the
Protector's death, and was elected President of the Council of
State. He did not live long to enjoy this honour, but died,
according to some authorities, on the 31st October, 1659. Chalmers
places his death on the 22nd of November in that year.

To the tune of "Well-a-day, well-a-day."


If you'll hear news that's ill,
Gentlemen, gentlemen,
Against the devil, I will
Be the relator;
