I. WHen Traytors did at Popery Rail, because it taught Confession, When Bankrupts bawl'd for Property, and Bastards for Succession: When Tony durst Espouse the Cause, Spight of his Pox and Gout, When Speaking Williams purg'd the House by Spewing Members out. II. When Hunt a Twifort-Pamphlet wrote, the Emblem of his Soul, When Oats swore whom he pleas'd in's plot and Reign'd without Controul: When L------ce Lampoon'd the Court, and Libel'd Cats and Dogs, When Witnesses like Mushroomes sprung, out of the Irish Boggs. III. Then Perkin thought 'twas time to prove, his claim to Kingship-Fair, And faith 'tis fit the Peoples Son, should be the Peoples Heir: So fill'd with Zeal he and his Knight, Carress'd and Court the Rout, And my Lord Duke goes up and down, to shew his Grace about. IV. Tho' F----d Lord G---y would not ingage, upon that idle score, For he would have a Common-Wealth, as well as Common Whore: He envy'd his Old Friend a Crown, but why I can't devise, For's Grace had grac'd his Lordships head, with Horns of Noble size.
V. Likewise his Patron Zeal grew high; th' Exclusion to advance, And the Right Heir must be debar'd, for fear of Rome and France: The Zealous Commons then resolv'd, and they knew what they did, By whomsoever King should fall, The Papists Throats should bleed. VI. So murth'ring Poniards oft are slipt, into a Guiltless Hand; And Innocence is sacrific'd, whilst Malefactors stands: By Hells assistance then they fram'd their damn'd Association, And worthy Men, and Men worthy, divided all the Nation. VII. Fools oft and Mad-Men leave the less, and chuse the greater Evil, Thus for fear of POPERY, run headlong to the Devil: At last these Loyal Souls propose, to ease their Soveraigns Cares, If he'l sit down and first remove their Jealousies and Fears. VIII. Just the Old trick and sham-Device, of Belzebub their Sire, If he'l fall down and Worship them, they'l grant his hearts desire; Nay, Lives and Fortunes then shall be intirely all his own, If he will fairly once disclaim his Brother and a Crown.
