Then into the World, a Dear P------ of W---- slipt. 'Twas plain, for we hear a great Minister peep'd. The Bricklayer for prating had like t'a bin whip'd. Sing hey brave Popery, etc. 15. Thus Englands Distresses more fierce than the Plague, That during three Years, of no Quiet could bragg. The Prince van Auraignia has brought from the Hague. Sing hey brave Popery, etc. 16.

Ah England, that never couldst value thy Peace: Had matters been now as in Elsabeths Days, The Dutch had ne'r ventur'd to Fish in our Seas. Then Curse of Popery, pox o Popery, plague o' Po-pery, Oh Senceless Popery, oh.
