An Excellent New Song ON LEWIS le Grand , OR , THE French King and the Devil . Tune of , The Orange . Printed according to Order . I. A Song I will sing Of a barbarous King Who in France for many Years Ruler has been ; Look all the World o're , Nay , Rome and its Whore , Did never bring forth such a Monster before

This damn'd Monsieur .

II. For the Protestant Crew , He 's resolv'd to undo , As daily we find by experience too true ; He hangs up the one , And a second 's undone , A third he is fain to pack up and be gone

From damn'd Monsieur .

III. In this his curs'd evil , He thinks himself civil , And mightily pleas'd in serving the Devil ; By all that is good , His delight is in bloud , And chiefly to root out the Heretick brood

From damn'd Monsieur .

IV. His Neighbouring Allies , With Wars he supplies , Not minding poor Children or Widows out-cries , He sends Sword and Fire , To make them retire , Or else they must fall to the lustful desire

Of damn'd Monsieur .

V. All these and much more , This Son of a Whore Has laid to his Charge , and does lye at his door , For which he was try'd And Condemned beside , To be flung in the Fire , and there to be fry'd

This damn'd Mounsieur .

VI. Now Lewis le Grand , In Effigie is hang'd , We hope 't wont be long e're his person do ga●●●g To the Devil , whose due T was to have long ago , So take in possession without more do

This damn'd Monsieur ▪

VII . Then Cerberus of Hell , Come take to thy Cell , The remains of a Carkass while any part 's wel●●… , For the Pox in his Groin And Fistula in time , Will wholly deceive you of what you design

From damn'd Mounsieur .

Devil to Lewis . I am sent ye to tell You are wanted in Hell , Since you your great Master has served so well , Then come Thee along To the fiery hot Thong , Where your Ancestors do most impatiently long

For damn'd Monsieur .

Lewis to the Devil . Pray Devil forbear , For I 'm not fit ware To come to the paws of your Worship I swear ; But give me some time , Purgatory to climb , There for to Flux , then I am in good time

Your damn'd Monsieur .

Devil to Lewis . Ay , begar Monsieur , You need not to fear Of Fluxing enough when in Hell you appear , For your Body is soul , And worse is your Soul , Therefore to the De'il the Poxt Body must roul

Of damn'd Monsieur .
