[1] LAst Sunday, by chance, I Encounter'd with Prance, That Man of Upright Conversation, Who told me such News, That I cou'd not chuse But Laugh at his sad Declaration. [2.] Says he, if you'l go, You shall see such a Show Of Reliques Expos'd to be Sold, Which from Sin and Disease Will Purge all that please To lay out their Silver and Gold. [3] Straight with him I went, Being Zealously bent, Where for Sixpence the Man let me in, But the Crowd was so great, I was all in a Sweat Before the Rare Show did begin. [4] The Curtain being drawn, Which I think was of Lawn, The PRIEST Cross'd himself thrice, and bow'd; Then with a sour Face, Denoting his Case, He address'd himself thus to the Crowd. [5] You see our sad State, a folly to prate, Our Church and our Cause is a-ground; So in short, if you've Gold, Here is to be Sold For a Guinny the worth of Ten Pound. [6] Here's St. Jamess old Bottle, It holds just a Pottle, With the Pilgrims Habit he wore; The same Scollop shells, As our Holy Church tells, Who denys it's the Son of a Wh------ [7] Here's a piece of the Bag, By Age turn'd to a Rag, In which Judas the Money did bear; With a part of his Rope, Bequeath'd to the POPE, As an Antidote 'gainst all despair. [8] Here's a Rib of St. Laurence, also at Florence, And it may be in France, or in Spain; It Cures Stone and Gravel, And Women in Travel It delivers without any Pain. [9] Here's St. Josephs old Coat, Though scarce worth a Groat, Its plainness does shew he'd no Pride; Yet this he had on, For besides it he'd none, The day that he Marry'd his Bride. [10] His Breeches are there, A plain Leather Pair, Come Buy the whole Suit, if you please; They'l defend you from th' Itch, From Hag and from Witch, And preserve you from Bugs and from Fleas. [11] Here's the Gall of a Saint, For such as do faint, Or are troubled with Fits of the Mother; Nay, if your Breath stink, Worse than Close-stool or Sink, It will Cure you as soon as the other.
[12] Here's a Prayer of Pope John, The like to't is none, If you say it but three times a year; Three hundred in grace, And three hundred 'twill place In Heaven, if they ever come there. [13] Here's our Lady's old Shoo, Which in Old-time was new, It will Cure all your Kibes and your Corns; With the Coyfe of St. Bridget, To be worn by each Ideot, Whose Head is tormented with Horns. [14] Here's a Bottle of Tears, Preserv'd many years, Of Mary's that once was a Sinner; Some o'th' Fish and the Bread That the Five Thousand fed, Which our Saviour Invited to Dinner. [15] Here's St. Francis own Cord, You may take't on my word, Who dies in it cannot be Damn'd; Do but buy it, and try, If I tell you a lye, Many Thousands of Heaven are shamm'd. [16] Here's his Holiness's Beard, Of whom you have heard, That the Hereticks called Pope Joan, Yet this I dare Swear Was his natural Hair, Or else I'll be Sworn he had none. [17] Its Vertue is such, That if it does touch Your Head, or your Face, or else-where, It does strait-way Restore More than e're was before, Though by Age or by Action worn bare. [18] Here's St. Christophers Boot, For his Right Leg and Foot, Which he wore when he ply'd at the Ferry, When on's Shoulders he bore His Blessed Lord o're, For the Poor Man had never a Wherry. [19] Such as Sail on the Seas, I am sure it will please, For its parrallel never was found; Neither Tempest nor Storm Can e're do 'em harm, Nor is't possible they shou'd be drown'd. [20] Here's infinite more, I have by me in store, All which lye conceal'd in this Hamper; Either buy 'em today, Or I'll throw 'em away, For tomorrow, by Heaven, I'll scamper. [21] Our Market is done, We must Shut up at Noon, We expect 'em each hour at the Door; We are Hang'd if we stay, And we can't get away, For none will, nor dare carry us o're. [22] But by th'Faith of a PRIEST, This is no time to jest, Since we're Baulk'd in our great Expectation; Before I will Swing Like a Dog in a String, I'll Renounce the Transubstantiation.
FINIS.
