Father Peter's Policy Discoverevd : Or , the Prince of Wales Pro'd a Popish Perkin . IN Rome there is a most fearful Rout , And what do you think it is about , Because the Birth of the Babe's come out : Sing lulla by Babee , by , by , by . The Jesuits swear the Midwife told tales , And ruin'd His Highness the Prince of Wales ; She 's a Jade for her pains , Cutsplutter-anails : Sing lulla , &c. The Popish Crew did all protest , That twenty great Men would swear at least , They see His Welsh Highness creep out of his Nest : Sing lulla , &c. The Goggle-ey'd Monster in the Tower , He peep'd at his Birth for above an hour , And 't was a true Prince of Wales he Swore : Sing lulla , &c. Another great Lord , both Grave and Wise , Stood peeping between Her Majesties Thighs ; He look'd through a Glass for to save his Eyes ; Sing lulla , &c. Both were so well satisfy'd , They knew the sweet Babe from a thousand they cry'd ; 'T was Born with the Print of a Tile on his side : Sing lulla , &c. Some say 't is a Prince of Wales by Right , And those that deny it 't is out of Spight ; But God send the Mother came honestly by 't : Sing lulla , &c. Some Priest , they say , crept nigh her Honour , And sprinkled some good Holy Water upon her , Which made her conceive of what has undone her : Sing lulla , &c. The Papists thought themselves greatly blest , Before the young Babe was brought to the Test ; But now they call Peters a Fool of a Priest : Ting lulla , &c. The Priests in order to fly to the Pope , Are got on Board on the Foreign Hope , For all that stay here will be sure of a Rope : Sing lulla by Babee , by , by , by .
