LAst Sunday I met by chance a man of upright Conversation; His Name, if you'l know it was Prance , the Saviour once of the Nation: Says he, if you'r willing to go, and lay out your Silver and Gold, I'le carry you to see a fine Show, where some Reliques are to be sold. All you that have Money to spare , i [' ]th nick of time are come , We're ready for sale , and will use you well , Come buy my fine Reliques of Rome. Along with him I went, for Sixpence the man let me in, With heat I was almost spent, before the rare Show did begin: The Curtain the Show did discover, A Priest, who most piously bow'd, And crost himself over and over, then spoke to the penitent Crowd. All you, etc. Here is St. James his Bottle, with the Pilgri ms Habit he wore; It holds at least a pottle, or else i'm the Son of a Wh---- Here is a piece of the Bag which Judas the money did bear in; By Age it is turn'd to a Rag, for all things are the worse for the wearing All you, etc. Here is St. Josephs Coat, its plainness shews no pride; He wore it, though not worth a Groat that day that he married his Bride. His Breeches besides here are, come buy the whole Suit if you please, Though they'r but a plain Leather pair, here's a good pair of strings at the knees. All you, etc. Here is likewise the Gall of a Saint, it's good against Fits of the Mother , Or any such persons as saint it will cure as well as the other: Here is Pope Joans good Prayer, which she to the Church has given, But say it three times in a year, and 'twil surely convey you to Heaven All you , etc.
Here is our Blest Ladies old Shooe, it cures both Kibe and Corn; Heretofore in old time it was new, though the Latchets a little are torn, Here's enough of the Fish and the Bread for to dine any hungry Sinner, That was left when Five Thousand were fed, which our Saviour invited to dinner. All you , etc. Here is His Holiness Beard, which Hereticks call Pope Joan ; It was his own Hair I dare swear, or else I am sure he had none: Its Vertue is known to be such, if it touch Head or Face, or elsewhere, It restores again Hair very much, tho' with Age or with Action grown bare. All you, etc. Here is likewise St. Christophers Boot, which he wore when he ply'd at the ferry And bore on his back his Lord o're, for the poor man had ne'r a Wherry. It will please such as use the Seas, for its parallel never was found; If you buy it and once but try it, you'l ne'r whilst you live be drownd. All you, etc. Here's more, which we cannot show, which lye all conceal'd in this Hamper Pray buy 'em before I go, for to morrow by Heaven i'le scamper, I surely am hanged if I stay, yet know not which way to be trudging; Come buy all my Trinkets today, for at night I must seek a new lodging. All you, etc. This is not a time to jest, now we're baulk'd of our great expectation, Before I'le be hang'd for a Priest, I le steal privately out of the Nation. Now could I but [l]ight on by chance some Vessel that would be so civil, To waft me safe over to France , so my Chapmen were all at the Devil . All you that have Money to spare, i'th nick of time are come, We're ready for sale, and will use you well, come buy my fine Reliques of Rome.
