ALL you that strange Prophecies love for to hear, Give heed to my words which now I declare; As the Nose on your face, you'll find it so plain, When Popery'll return into England again. When Peters to Lime-street again does repair, And with his vile hands the Bible doth tear, And 'gainst all our Laws his Treasons maintain, Then Popery'll return, etc.
When the Bald-pated Villains our Nation infest, That damn all those Church-men won't take off the Test, And to put down our Bishops they use might and main, Then Popery'll return, etc. When Papists in Eminent Stations are plac'd, And Protestants all turn'd out with disgrace, And blood-thirsty Teagues our Religion maintain, Then Popery'll return, etc.
When a Nun with a Fryer together lives Chaste, And thinks it a Sin for to finger her Waste, And tho' tis not Lent, yet from Flesh will abstain, Then Popery'll return, etc. When the Pope that now sits in Infallible Chair, To Convert this Nation shall hither repair, And Protestants seek his favour to gain, Then Popery'll return, etc. When Fleet-street and Holbourn affords ne'er a Whore, And Misers their Money do throw to the Poor; When their lost Reputations they both shall obtain, Then Popery'll return, etc. When Welch-men no more will eat toasted Cheese, And Lawyers refuse the taking of Fees; When Cowards like Hectors their Valours maintain, Then Popery'll return, etc. When Maidens at fifteen their Sweet-hearts forget, And when got to twenty don't long for a bit; And once they are Marry'd desire not to Reign, Then Popery'll return, etc. When Christmas doth fall in the middle of June, And good Musicks made when the Crowds out of tune, And Ships you see sailing on Salisbury Plain, Then Popery'll return, etc. When Men to each other prove Loveing and kind, Of several Religions, yet all of a mind, And always their word they justly retain, Then Popery'll return, etc. When all these strange things do come to your view, And every one of them doth prove to be true, (You'll find I'm no Lyar, but a Countryman plain) Then Popery'll return into England again.
