Here, Here, Here is Pig and Pork:
OR,
( A Catholick Tradit[io]n)
SHEW[I]NG
How a lustfull Roman Bore
Made a delicate Piggin Riggin a Catholick Whore;
Whereby you may see, if you are not stark blind,
That the Priests will never Marry while some Wives are so kind.
Giving an Account of a Father Wifely, the Popish Bishop of Kildare in Ireland,
and a Shop-keeper's Wife in High-street, Dublin.
To the Tune of Winchester Wedding. Licensed according to Order.

IN Dublin was play'd such a Prank,
the like was never seen,
Between a full fed Priest
and bonny black Ishabeen.

He enjoin'd the Sinner a Pennace
for some notorious Sin,
And made poor Bessee uncase,
unto her naked Skin.

And when she naked was
he laid on many a stroak,
With his fat brawny fist,
untill he made her back-side smoak.

But when Confession was ended,
he did as he was used;
He fell to kissing and tickling,
and playing with her Shoes.

Untill his Catholick Engine was rais'd,
then flat on the Bed, on her Back
He laid her and gave her Instructions,
till he made the Cords to crack.

But a curse on the Heretick Noise,
her Husband came in on the Alarm,
And found his Wife enclos'd [in]
the Reverend Fathers Arms.

And now the warm Game begun,
he threatn'd the Priest with his Stones,
And with a good Cudgel belabour'd
his Ghostly Reverend Bones.

Thus having disabl'd the Stallion,
and somewhat abated his Rage,
He thought to put up the Matter
and not bring his Name on the Stage.

But dismist the lustfull Priest,
and his Oath by the Mass,
Of his silence and future forbearance
of what had come to pass.

Now you Catholick Bigots beware,
it is high time for you to reform,
Seeing the Priests be as other Men are,
they are flesh and blood and full as warm.

Do you think they can lead chast Lives,
who are pamper'd and idle and fat?
To be sure they lye with your Wives,
their Confession is in order to that.

For this Song is plain Matter of Fact,
and every one of your Cases may be,
And if you will not for Religion,
yet th' hate of Cuckolding, flye Popery.


As it was Printed in Dublin [168?]
