THe Prince Van Orange he is come to this Land, Who does in defiance of Popery stand: He does not desire Supream for to Reign, But our Laws and Liberties here to maintain. Which some evil Persons did strive to Invade, And we into Bondage might have been betray'd; We see all their dealings, which troubl'd us sore, The Fryars and Jesuits dayly came o're. In City and Town they did Mass-houses build, Which was with poor ignorant Proselites fill'd; The Proverb of old is made true in this case, We see that an ill Weed will flourish apace.
They still are inventing and forging of Lyes, Against out Bible and Clergy likewise; In hopes they might suddenly be overthrown, And then they concluded the Game was their own. The Bishops away to the Tower was sent As stout and as chearful as martyrs they went; Not fearing what ever might fall to their doom, They scorn to submit to the Clergy of Rome. Now while the true Church thus did tottering stand, It was a great grief to most Men in this Land: But while we with sorrowful sighings did grieve, Each Fryar and Jesuits laught in their Sleeve.
And Old Father Peters was one of the Train, Who did for a while in his Roguery Reign; But Fortune was pleased to send him a Frown, And from his high Honour to tumble him down. Now seeing himself in this sorrowful case, He thought it no boot to remain in this place; And therefore his Breetches with Guinnies he lin'd. In order for running some shelter to find. Now while he was taking this dangerous flight, He pray'd to Saint Francis and Bridget all night; But yet notwithstanding his Religious Prayer, He was taken napping as Moss catch this Mare. There is many more as we well understand, Whishes that they were safe out of the Land; They'd rather leave Brittain, and flye to the Pope, Than here to take part of the Hatchet and Rope. And now to return to the Prince Van Orange, Whose cost, care and Conduct, has wrought this great change This Nation from the Thraldom I hope he'l set fee, And then there will none be more happy than we. And now let us drink a good Health to the Mitre, And may that Church flourish, tho' enemies spight he[r] Next Health to that Seven that stood by our Cause, As stout as our Martyrs, as just as our Laws. God bless all the Nobles, Religious and Just, Who always was faithful and true to their Trust: I hope they will setile this Nation again, That we may ne'r have any cause to complain. And when a Free Parlament shall Regulate And Compose our Fractions in matters of State, The Joys of this Nation again to restore, The both King and People may flourish once more.
FINIS.
