THE
Rare Vertue of an Orange;
OR, Popery purged and expelled out of the Nation.
To the Tune of, The Pudding.
|
GOod People come buy
|
The Fruit that I cry,
|
That now is in season, tho' Winter is nigh;
|
'Twill do you all good,
|
And sweeten your Blood;
|
I'm sure it will please when you've once under-stood
|
'tis an Orange.
|
Its Cordial Juice,
|
Does much Vigour produce:
|
I may well recommend it to every Mans use,
|
Tho' some it quite chills,
|
And with fear almost kills,
|
Yet certain each healthy Man benefit feels
|
by an Orange.
|
Perhaps you may think
|
That the Jesuits stink,
|
Because that they can't get away with their Chink;
|
For Hemp is their Doom,
|
If they dare to presume,
|
To tarry so long as to smell the Perfume
|
of an Orange,
|
Dear Teague and his Fellow's
|
Come over the Main,
|
And thought in Great-Brittain like Landlords to Reign;
|
They play'd for our Houses,
|
And lost them again,
|
Some of those deer-Joys now has met with their bane,
|
by an Orange.
|
The Fryars and Jesuits
|
Thought to excell,
|
By singing, and Ringing their Tantany-Bell;
|
But there is nothing
|
That can e'er do so well,
|
The Poyson of P----y quite to expell,
|
as an Orange.
|
There's Old Father P----s,
|
Religious and Chaste,
|
Has left all his lasses that once he embrac'd
|
And now he is scowr'd
|
Away in all haste,
|
Because that he cannot endure the sharp taste
|
of an Orange.
|
Old Stories rehearse,
|
In Prose and in Verse,
|
How a Welsh child was found by loving of cheese
|
Then the smelling sence,
|
Now may prove the true Prince,
|
And all the whole Nation of folly convince
|
by an Orange.
|
If they Cure the ayls
|
Of England and Wales,
|
And with the Old Jesuits fill all the Goals,
|
Who strove the whole Nation,
|
Alas! to deceive,
|
And now at old Tyburn let them take their leave
|
of an Orange.
|
Tho' the Mobile bawl,
|
Like the Devil and all,
|
For Religion, Property, Justice and Laws,
|
Yet in very good sooth,
|
I'll tell you the truth,
|
There nothing is better to stop a man's mouth
|
then an Orange.
