1 GOod people I pray Throw the Orange away, Tis a very sowre Fruit, and was first brought in play When good Judith Wilk In her pocket brought Milk, And with Cushings and Warming-pans labourd to bilk This same Orange. 2. When the Army retreats And the Parliament sits To Vote our K------ the true use of his Wits: Twill be a sad means When all he obtains Is to have his Calves-head dressd with other mens Brains, And an Orange. 3. The sins of his Youth Made him think of one Truth, When he spawld from his Lungs, and bled twice at the mouth, That your fresh sort of Food Does his Carcass more good, And the damnd thing that Curd his putrefied blood Was an Orange. 4. This hopeful young Son Is surely his own Because from an O------ it cryd to be gone But the Hereticks say He was got by Da------ For neither K------ nor the Nuncio dare stay Near an Orange. 5. Since Lewis was Cut From his Breech to the Gut, France fancies an open-arse delicate Fruit; We wiser than so Have two strings to our bow For weve a good Q------ thats an open-arse too, And an Orange. 6. Till Nanny writ much To the Rebels the D------ Her Mother, good Woman, nere owd her a grutch And the box of the Ear Made the matter appear, That the only foul savour the Q------ could not bear Was an Orange. 7. An honest old Peer That forsook God last year, Pulld off all his Plaisters, and Armd for the War; But his Arms would not do, And his Aches throbbd too, That he wishd his own Pox and his M------s too On an Orange. 8. Old Tyburn must groan, For Jeffreys is known To have perjurd his Conscience to marry his Son; And D------s Cause Will be tryd by Just Laws, And Herbert must taste a most damnable Sauce With an Orange. 9. Lobb, Pen, and a score Of those honest men more Will find this same Orange exceedingly sowre; The Q------ to be seizd Will be very ill pleasd, And so will K------ Pippin, too dry to be squeezd By an Orange.
