GOod People all, I pray give Ear, unto my real Story, 'Tis News as true as er'e you heard, and much for James's Glory. To shew that Rome is kind to Him, as he to Rome before; And that 'tis not Impossible to make a Man a Whore. Nor think that this a Riddle is, for 'tis Expounded soon; Since Popes are Men, and Popes you know, are Whores of Babylon. And now Attend unto my News, which came by the last Post; The Penny that you Spend for this, be sure will ne're be lost. You then that are so hot for James, your Fond Attempts forbear; For he has only lost Three Crowns, to Sit in Peter's Chair. And won't it be more Honour far, to be a Pope of Rome, Then Live in Exile all his Days, which else will be his Doom. Now you must know the Pope lies Sick, ne're likely to Recover, And Jemmy Transub---puts in his Claim by Treaty made at Dover. Where 'twas Agreed, that if the Pope should Die before his Brother, That then the Cardinals should Choose His Highness for another. As Pudding-pat for Fryars Mouth, it luckily falls out That there's the Holy Throne now void for Jemmy the Devout. For this the Cardinals did meet, and Solemnly Agreed, To send a Nuntio to King James to Post to Rome with Speed.
So great a Thing, the Conclave cry'd, was never seen at Rome, A Crowned King in Peter's Chair, and Lord of Christendom. Therefore the Nuntio him besought to rise from London-Derry, And leave his Fumbling for a Town that was not worth a Cherry. Make hast to Rome, where you will find the Conclave all your Friends, For your Great Loss, for their dear Sakes, to make you full Amends. Your Princely Babe, Loretto's Blessing, is Ripe for a Red Had, And for your Queens Deserts, you ought to Cannonize her Tw----t. For their good Service then you may, to Places High Advance, Your Peters and your Dada both, and eke La Chaise in France; For well you know you are not able with Schomberg for to deal; And therefore what you want in Courage. supply in Works of Zeal. King Jemmy heard this Grave Proposal, and lik't it wonderous we'll, Cuds Life, quo he, make me but Pope, let Ireland go to the Dee'l. To tell you Truth, I have no Faith in this same Irish Church, Which makes me fear that in the End, they'l leave me in the Lurch. Go Nuncio back, and tell my Friends, I'le come, as soon I may; As soon as I can Ship my Gold, and safely get away; For tell 'em, I shall bring along, the Devil and all in Cash, As having Glean'd the Teagues of all but a little Copper Trash.
