Petre. WHat have we done! now has the gloomy part Unbosom'd all the utmost of its Art. Has Hell ungorg'd, and from its Entrails thrown Off all the Plots which useful might have grown? By which we might have ransack'd all the World, And Hereticks to sad Despair have hurl'd. Devil. Labour I did, and much Pains I took, Thro' all the Creeks of Hell did strictly look, Where I might find one Devil that might be Assisting to our Hellish Massacre. But I am deceiv'd; yet thy Soul must pay Me for my Pains, when hence it flies away. Petre. That I give thee, and would have thank'd thee too, If t' our ruin'd Plots, thou hadst been true: All now are known, and my Assistants are Brought to the Rope, submitting to Despair.
The Birth of the false P----- is plainly known; That wretched Door to all the Crowd is shown. Conscience is prickt, which makes 'em more confess Than loaded Hell itself cou'd e're possess. Our Massacreing Arms are all dispers'd, Our Plotting Letters to the World rehears'd: Our Crosses, Books and Papers, now we see, Are come to a deserv'd Catastrophe. Our Fryars, Monks and Jesuits, nay all The Romish Tribe, will in this Conflict fall: And crowded Hell will now so burden'd be, That so at last, there'l scarce be room for me. Devil. Feed not thyself with such vain Hopes as those, To be the first of all I thee have chose: In Purgatory Flames think not to burn, Where after Death, thou say'st, the Souls return; But where thou always must expect to be Tortur'd with Flames and vip'rous Cruelty. Come! hast away! we have prepared Quarters For Thee and thy Fellow Regulators, Nigh Father Garnet, and such Popish-Martyrs.
