I. WOuld you be a Man in Favour? Would you have your Fortune kind? Wear the Cross and Eat the Wafer, you'll have all things to your Mind: If the Priests cannot Convert you, Int'rest then must do the thing. There are Fryers can inform you, how to please a P------ T------. II. Would you see a Papist Lowring, lost in Hurry and a Fright; With their Father Peters Scowring, glad of happy time for Flight. Stay but while the Dutch are Landed, and the show will straight appear; When th' Infernal Sp'rits disbanded, few will stay for Tyburn here. III. If Preferment you'd be gaining, Or advanc'd be nigh the Throne; Bribe some pious Pimp, pertaining to the Whore of Babylon. Priests are now the sacred Noddyes, that spur on the hateful Cause; They from Tyburn save their Bodies, by dispensing with our Laws.
IV. Peters was the Popish Darling, [now] has left us in the lurch, And has quite giv'n o'er his snarling, and his snapping at our Church. Now the Dutch are come to right her, Peters sadly fears a Cord: For the Prince will bite the Biter, and his Holy Cheats reward. V. All you catchpole Priests be speedy, for bad Times are coming on; Tyburn groans and will be greedy for all you that are not gone: Hast and follow Father Peters, Popery must now go down; The King no more will trust such Creatures to be plac'd too nigh his Throne. VI. Now the Priests are all Confounded, and their vile Intriegues are crost; By the Dutch they are surrounded, and penn'd up within our Coast: Many Aching hearts, I fancy, are amongst the todpole Train, If they were got safe beyond-Sea, they'd ne'er trouble us again.
