A
SATYR.

HIS Holiness has Three Grand Friends

On our Great Britains shore,

That promote his (and their own) ends,

A D. a Judge, a Whore.

The D. is true as Stubborn-Steel

To the Pope, that Infallible Elf;

Therefore no Friend to Common Weal,

More than unto himself.

The Judge is a base Butchers Son,

Most shy of nocent Blood;

But for Ten thousand pound has done

The Pope a deal of good.

'Twas he that Villain Wakeman clear'd,

Who was to have Poyson'd the King,

As plain to all but Twelve appear'd;

For which he deserves to swing.

Then Portsmouths Frenchified-Bitch,

That Damn'd Papistick-Drab;

An ugly, and most nasty Witch,

Eat up with Mange and Scab.

This French Hag's Pocky Bumb

So pow'rful is of late;

Although it is both Blind and Dumb,

It Rules both Church and State.
