IN Rome there is a most fearful Rout, And what do you think it is about, Because the Birth of the Babe's come out: Sing lulla by Babee, by, by, by. The Jesuits swear the Midwife told tales, And ruin'd His Highness the Prince of Wales; She's a Jade for her pains, Cutsplutter-anails: Sing lulla, etc. The Popish Crew did all protest, That twenty great Men would swear at least, They see His Welsh Highness creep out of his Nest: Sing lulla, etc. The Goggle-ey'd Monster in the Tower, He peep'd at his Birth for above an hour, And 'twas a true Prince of Wales he Swore: Sing lulla, etc. Another great Lord, both Grave and Wise, Stood peeping between Her Majesties Thighs; He look'd through a Glass for to save his Eyes; Sing lulla, etc. Both were so well satisfy'd, They knew the sweet Babe from a thousand they cry'd; 'Twas Born with the Print of a Tile on his side: Sing lulla, etc. Some say 'tis a Prince of Wales by Right, And those that deny it 'tis out of Spight; But God send the Mother came honestly by't: Sing lulla, etc. Some Priest, they say, crept nigh her Honour, And sprinkled some good Holy Water upon her, Which made her conceive of what has undone her: Sing lulla, etc. The Papists thought themselves greatly blest, Before the young Babe was brought to the Test; But now they call Peters a Fool of a Priest: Sing lulla, etc. The Priests in order to fly to the Pope, Are got on Board on the Foreign Hope, For all that stay here will be sure of a Rope: Sing lulla by Babee, by, by, by.
