A
SATYR.

HIS Holiness has Three Grand Friends

On Great Britain shore,

That prosecute his (and their own) ends,

A D. a Judge, and a Whore.

The D. is as true as Steel

To the Pope, that Infallible Elf;

Therefore no Friend to the Common Weal,

Nor no Friend unto himself.

The Judge is a Butchers Son,

Yet hates to shed innocent Blood,

But for Ten thousand pound has done

The Pope a great deal of good.

He that Villain Wakeman clear'd,

Who was to have Poyson'd the King,

As it most plainly appear'd;

For which he deserves to swing.

Portsmouth, that Pocky-Bitch,

A Damn'd Papistical-Drab,

An ugly deformed Witch,

Eaten up with the Mange and Scab.

This French Hag's Pocky Bumb

So powerful is of late;

Although it's both Blind and Dumb,

It Rules both Church and State.
