- Notes:
- A ballad in the form of a mock litany satirizing the army and Parliament.
- The principal author of Mercurius melancholicus (1647-1649) was John Hackluyt; but rival periodicals with the same name sporadically appeared, at least one by John Crouch, others by Martin Parker and possibly one by John Taylor. The anti-Presbyterian tone of this ballad denies Hackluyt's authorship but is quite suitable to the verse of Crouch, Parker, or Taylor.
