I. WHen the Joy of all hearts, and desire of all eyes, In whom our chief Refuge, and Confidence lies, The Protestant Bulwark against all Dispair, Has depriv'd us at once, of her Self, and her Heir: That hopeful Young Thing Begot by a King, And a Queen, whose Perfections o're all the world ring. A Father whose Courage no Mortal can daunt, And a Mother whose Virtue no Scandal can taint. II. When Wide-mouth resign'd up the Purse and the Mace, Whose impudent Arrogance gain'd him the place: When, like Lucifer, thrown from the height of his Pride, And the Knot of his Villany's strangely unty'd. From the Chancery Bawling, He turns a Tarpaulin, Men will catch at anything when they are falling: But to hasten his Fate, before he cou'd scour, He was tak'n at Wapping, and sent to the Tow'r. III. When Confessor Petre's did yield up the Game, and prov'd to the worst of Religion a shame, When his cheating no more on our Reason prevails, But is blasted like that of his true Prince of W---s, Which was his Contrivance, And Fryars Connivance, To establish the Papists, and Protestants drive hence: But their Cobweb Conception is brought to the Test, And the coming of ORANGE has quite spoil'd the Jest. IV. When an Old Cuff was Noted for all that is ill, Was urg'd by his Wife to the making his Will; At the hearing which words, he did stare, foam and roar, Then broke out in Cursing, and calling her Whore. And for Two Hours at least His Tongue never ceas't, He rail'd on Religion, and damn'd the poor Priest, And his Friends, who had hope to behold him expire, Are afraid by this Bout they shall lose their desire.
V. A young Hero was fam'd in this great Expedition, Not for going to War, but obtaining Commission; It's no Mystery to me, if his Courage did fail, When great Polititians were apt to turn Tail: So that if he took Flight, With his Betters by Night, I am apt to believe the pert Spark was i'th' right: For the Papists that Maxim do everywhere hold, To be forward in Boasting, in Courage less Bold. VI. Nor shou'd Jesuits, Fryars, such Papishes throng, But each in due place have their Attributes sung. Yet since 'tis believ'd by the strange turn of Times, They'l be call'd to account for their Treasonable Crimes, While the Damn'd Popish Plot, Is not yet quite forgot, For which a great Peer went justly to pot: And to their great comfort I'le make it appear, Who gave them their Freedom shall suffer severe. VII. Another true Trout to the Bishops and Laws, As the Devil wou'd have it, espous'd the wrong Cause; Now loath'd by the Commons, and scorn'd by the Peers His Patent for Honour, in pieces he tears. Both our Brittains are Fool'd, Who the Laws Over-rul'd, And next Parliament each, will be plagu'ly School'd: Then try if your Cunning can find out a Flaw, To preserve you from Judgement according to Law. VIII. The Kentish Knights Actions I shall not repeat, Till by Axe, or by Halter, his Life he compleat; P---s History shall be related by Nobb, Who has ventur'd his Neck for a Snack in the Jobb. All their Priests and Confessors, With their dumb Idol-Dressers, Shall meet that Reward which is due to Transgressors. May the Protestant people this Land long inherit, Then ORANGE shall reap the Reward of his Merit.
