The Popes Great Year of Jubilee.
OR, The Catholicks Encouragement for the
Entertainment of Popery.
With an Account of an Eminent Mart or Fair, which is to be kept by his Holiness,
where all sorts of Indulgencies, pardons, Remissions, Relicks, Trash, and Trumperies,
are to be exposed to Sale, and may be had for ready mony at any time of the day;
With the usual ceremonies thereunto appertaining.
Therefore such sons as are desirous to imbrace the kind proffers of their holy Mother, are
advised in the nick of time to, come all away.
Tune is, Have at an.
|
LEt me extol (these fickle times,)
|
The Church of Rome in ballad rimes,
|
And sing her glory and her praise.
|
Whilst we lye basking in her Rays,
|
For nows the time without delay,
|
That she invites, kind Proselites,
|
Come all away, come all away.
|
For now with you I shall be free,
|
This is the year of Jubilee,
|
Where all are welcome to their charge,
|
For we our Coffers shall inlarge,
|
Good wares we proffer every day,
|
Which you may try, before you buy,
|
Come all away, [come all away,]
|
[For Par]dons and indulgencies,
|
[For] Relicks and such rarities,
|
[If y]ou but ready money bring,
|
You shall not want for any thing,
|
Our Holy Father wel obey,
|
And serve [you all,], both great and small,
|
[Come all away, c]ome all away.
|
If that a Church you chance to rob,
|
Although it is an untoward job;
|
For sacriledge wel give [y]ou cure,
|
And penance small you shall endure;
|
If that your money down you lay,
|
A piece or so, tis touch and go,
|
Come all away, come all away.
|
Or if th[at you c]hance to fall at strife,
|
And murther father, son, or wife;
|
In private you absolvd shall be,
|
Tis but inlarging of your [f]ee,
|
So shall you end the bloody [fra]y;
|
And have a check, to save your neck,
|
Come all away, come all away.
|
Or any sin that you can name,
|
To keep you from all publique shame;
|
If that your pockets lined be,
|
Our absolutions shall be free
|
Who would not [such a Head] obey;
|
That when he please [gives thus] of ease,
|
Come [all away, come all away.]
|
|
|
|
|
[The] second part,
[to the] same tune.
|
NExt Joesephs breeches you may see,
|
Though out of fashion now they be,
|
With milk came from the Virgin Mary,
|
And St. John Baptists cloak all hairy;
|
These things are very rare youl say,
|
But many more, we have in store,
|
Come all away, come all away.
|
Therefore all those that will repair,
|
And come to traffick at this fare;
|
Be sure you money with you bring,
|
For that we count the only thing;
|
His holiness must have they say,
|
New cloaths most fine, against the time,
|
Come all away, come all away.
|
And now for to indulge you more,
|
Who near was entertaind before;
|
In our religion you shall find
|
Enough for to content your mind;
|
Freedom and liberty each day,
|
Sin to refrain, or sin again,
|
Come all away, come all away.
|
We have a place cald purgatory,
|
Though fools do count it a vain story;
|
In which if you be purged well,
|
You need not fear the jaws of hell:
|
I must confess tis hot they say,
|
But money will dot, and bring you out,
|
Come all away, come all away.
|
Good Fridays lash is but a play,
|
What ere the rabble rout may say,
|
And quickly too it is forgot,
|
For on Easter-day we hang on the pot;
|
And with sharp stomacks then we say,
|
We need not fast now lent is past,
|
Come, etc.
|
Then you which by our Churches pass,
|
I say come in and hear a Mass,
|
And see the Priests how clear they sup,
|
The healing sacerdotal cup;
|
Then if youl not the Pope obey,
|
My labours lost, and I am crost,
|
Go your way, Go your [way].
