I. WHEN Lewis the Great Had heard of the Fate Of Guiscard, his booted Apostle; Not Scarrons Delight, His Maintenon bright, Coud allay in his Breast the fierce Bustle. II. Sure Monarch, he cryd, Was never so tryd, And his Schemes so well laid all defeated: For whatever I do, Still Fortunes my Foe, And like her cast Bully Im treated. III. What have I not done (For the Cause as my own) To restore my young Brother Pretender? Spard Labour, nor Cost, But all have been lost, To impose on their Faith a Defender. IV. For these Nine Years and more, It has been my chief Lore, To preach up their Churches great Danger: Both People and Priest Have been caught with the Jest, And I aimd by dividing to change her.
V. My Troops of the Gown With some Hopes have gone on; But alas all my Strength and my Cunning! Both by Land and by Sea, To my Sorrow must say, Have ended in Beating or Running. VI. And now when the last Of my Schemes, and the best, Was ripe, and my Priest on his Mission: To have Plot and Knife broke, At the finishing Stroke, Is the worst that the Devil coud wish one. VII. Ravillac the Bold, And Jaques Clement of old, Each their Catholick Daggers coud settle In the Heart of a King; But my Tool must begin Quite wrong, and with Heretick Metal. VIII. And now, as tis said, He in Pickle is laid, And Marlborough again comes for Arras: Shoud it prove not a Lye, In what a pickle am I, For hell stop not a Mile short of Paris.
