1. O Ye Roundheads and Whiggs, forever be silent, Cease to scandalize Tory, and honest Tantivy; I'le tell you strange News that happened nigh Lent, Which if you disprove, I swear I'le forgive ye: Of Protestant Francis, That tells us Romances, Of horrible Plots more strange then Miles Prances; For Frank twelve Geneva good Bibles did proffer, To lie with his Maid, but she slighted his offer. 2. This Protestant News-monger, and Munster Imp, Endeavour'd to Switchel her upon the Sabbath, And made his Bibles his leacherous Pimp; But some think that they together near lay both: For the Maid was as Chast As Lucretia, at least, But had he been Tarquin, there had been the Jest; For Frank twelve Geneva good Bibles did proffer, To lie with his Maid, but she slighted his offer. 3. Then he offer'd one Bible if he might but Grope her, But the resolute Quean still stoutly deny'd him; Quoth she, Master Frank you a Leacherous Fop are, And after that manner severely did chide him: You're the Brethrens Teacher, An Anabaptist Preacher: Reply'd he then to her, You a Papist and Bitch are; For Frank twelve Geneva good Bibles did proffer, To lie with his Maid, but she slighted his offer.
4. He writes twice a week News Domestick & Forrain, As Seditious as Care, Ben. Harris, or Curtis; Great Lyes in abundance from France & from Lorrain But never says word of his Maid: what a Cur 'tis? He tells us strange Stories, Of Papists and Tories; But this I'le say for him, that his Maid no Whore is: For Frank twelve Geneva good Bibles did proffer, To lie with his Maid, but she slighted his offer. 5. Then Frank be not angry cause she would not com-ply, For Saints in this world have misfortunes & crosses: Suppose that she had the best Thing you could try, You could have but tickled it with your Probosses; After that you wou'd curse, You were not starv'd at Nurse, Because you would then be twelve Bibles the worse: For Frank twelve Geneva good Bibles did proffer, To lie with his Maid, but she slighted his offer. 6. From this Godly deed, St. Francis, you're call'd, Because you endeavour'd to save your Maids Soul, Though Satan your Pious intentions forestall'd, And the Scriptures could not prevail on the Fool: Though she wou'd not grant, Yet deny it we can't, But that you deserv'd to be called a Saint; For Frank twelve Geneva good Bibles did proffer, To lie with his Maid, but she slighted his offer.
