A New Song of Lulla By,
OR, Father Peters 's Policy Discovered.
A Pritty Babe, and Hopeful Son,
of late we much did boast,
But now, alas! we are undone,
was ever Rome so crost.
To the Tune of, Green Sleeves. Or, My Mistriss is to Bulling gone.

[Biting] [h]is Thumbs and tearing his Hair,

[And] [said,] why did you not take greater care.

And those that deny't, 'tis out of spight,

Did cause a young Infant to spring in her [womb,]
|
Sing Lulla, etc.
