I. I Am a Bastard, by my Birth, Of Popish Generation: My wicked Deeds do set me forth, To every Tongue and Nation. My Name is Lewis, King of France; My Subjects I keep under: In Blood I make all Europe quake, To be the whole World's Wonder. II. The Prince of Condy, I ran down, His Friends I put in Prison: Tho' he was true Heir to the Crown, He was accus'd of Treason. And when I was set in the Throne, I Villianies contrived, To do Mischief, without Relief, Old Quarrels I revived. III. The Protestants of France did bring Me to my Coronation. For I had no right to be King, By every Man's Relation. But I have them requited well, By killing and by burning, Their Children I have forc'd to die, Both Hungar-starv'd and Mourning. IV. With Mahomet, I am Brother sworn, 'Gainst Christendom and Popery: A Tyrant great, as e'r was born, Religion I thought Foppery. They call me now, Most Christian Turk, Tho' Turks they do abhor me: I am the Hate of Church and State; None such was e'r before me.
V. With Germany I broke the League, A Rascal was to Poland: My Subjects I did force to beg. And broke my Word to Holland. Great Britain's King I did pull down, For I did still perswade him, To play the Fool, like Boys at School, He still bid as I bade him. VI. The Royal Heir of England's Crown, A King made of a Cushion, Was hatch'd by Peter's of Renown, That musty old Capushion. But I design'd the Prince of Wales To be my Royal Brother; That we might be, in Pedegree, Just like to one another. VII. I have been Ten times basely Pox'd. And Ten times have been cured; And Twenty times I have been Flux'd: What Pains have I endur'd! Yet now I'am more perplex'd in mind, Still thinking of the Danger, Of loseing France, by meer Mischance, And trusting to a Stranger. VIII. For Bloody War, and Widow's Cries, I make sad Lamentation: For wicked Deeds and Perjuries, I'm like to lose my Nation. Let every King be Wise by me, And rather live contented, Than hazar'd all, and catch a fall, Which cannot be prevented.
