I. YOur scandalous Lies I with patience have read; And condemn every Article that you have said: Must the French K- your Subject for Satyr be made, And great J --- in Jack-Adam 's Coat be arrai'd. If his Q---- goes to Rut, Is She therefore a Slut; Poor Women oft times to great Hardships are put. And if Lewis did send the good K---- on one side, Yet you're Saucy to guess what he did with his Bride. II. To his most Loyal Subjects, and best of his Lands, Now England and Scotland have shook off his Bands: To the first Royal Seat of his unquestion'd Line; Which makes him so much to the Irish incline: To that long promis'd Place, Unto him and his Race; Where he represents Lewis 's Majesty's Grace. He is safely retir'd, and there gloriously Rules, By a lineal Descent from the House of La-F----s . III. His Clemency, Conduct, and Pity was shown, When with Patience so long he did wait for a Crown: The Mirror of Subjects and Brothers he liv'd; Remember how much for that Monarch he griev'd: How unwilling to Reign, How he wish'd him again; Though I own all the while, he was sure 'twas in vain. To which let me add his Indulgence ith' West, And the Devil 's in the Dice if all that was in Jest. IV. The Tryals and Turmoyls that good Man endur'd, Which by Church-men and States-men was daily procur'd. What Strivings had he to bring Business about, By puting in Papists and Protestants out. With what Vigor he try'd, To bring all to his Side, Till that damnable closetting Trick was discry'd. And if Parliament had but done as commanded, The French-men instead of the Dutch should have landed.
V. His Delight from the Cradle was ever in Armes, As his Consorts has been in dissusing her Charms: What a Bustle was here with the Nuntio ere while, Because she upon him would constantly smile: Suppose she did more, You held not the Dore, 'Tis but Justice sometimes to pay off an old Score: For I know't by Experience, when Husbands do fail, That a slender Temptation will easily prevail. VI. 'Tis plain 'gainst his Highness of W ----s is your Spite, But pray mark the End, and see what you'll get by't. There are Rods laid in Piss for the best of you all, When the plaguy young Urchin comes back to W --Hall He's a Limb of his Dam, Though you call it a Sham; The Church cannot Err, nor believe in a Flam: Was not all the Contrivance on't printed at large, By his M-----s Order, and at his own Charge. VII. But beware your Lampooning, your Satyr and Scandal, There are those in the World will you plaguily handle, When'e one K. shall hear what a monster yo've made him, And the other shall know what it is has betray'd him. When the Q ---- shall behold, All her Vertues Re-told; I cannot but laugh, to think how she will scold. At the best she's a Fury, but when in a Passion, Uds Nouns, she's enough to confound a whole Nation.
