GOod People come buy The Fruit that I cry, That now is in season, tho' Winter is nigh; 'Twill do you all good, And sweeten your Blood; I'm sure it will please when you've once under-stood 'tis an Orange. Its Cordial Juice, Does much Vigour produce: I may well recommend it to every Mans use,

Tho' some it quite chills, And with fear almost kills, Yet certain each healthy Man benefit feels by an Orange. Perhaps you may think That the Jesuits stink, Because that they can't get away with their Chink; For Hemp is their Doom, If they dare to presume, To tarry so long as to smell the Perfume of an Orange,

Dear Teague and his Fellow's Come over the Main, And thought in Great-Brittain like Landlords to Reign; They play'd for our Houses, And lost them again, Some of those deer-Joys now has met with their bane, by an Orange. The Fryars and Jesuits Thought to excell, By singing, and Ringing their Tantany-Bell; But there is nothing That can e'er do so well, The Poyson of P----y quite to expell, as an Orange. There's Old Father P----s, Religious and Chaste, Has left all his lasses that once he embrac'd And now he is scowr'd Away in all haste, Because that he cannot endure the sharp taste of an Orange. Old Stories rehearse, In Prose and in Verse, How a Welsh child was found by loving of cheese Then the smelling sence, Now may prove the true Prince, And all the whole Nation of folly convince by an Orange. If they Cure the ayls Of England and Wales, And with the Old Jesuits fill all the Goals, Who strove the whole Nation, Alas! to deceive, And now at old Tyburn let them take their leave of an Orange. Tho' the Mobile bawl, Like the Devil and all, For Religion, Property, Justice and Laws, Yet in very good sooth, I'll tell you the truth, There nothing is better to stop a man's mouth then an Orange.
