Thompson Tell-lyes . OR An Answer to Titus Tell-troth , To the Tune of , Hail to the Mirtle Shades . [1] HAil to the Devil and Pope . To Lestrange and the rest of the Town , To the Tories who vainly do hope To see Protestants tumbling down ; To Lestrange who has cover'd the Plot As much as a Knave could do , All hail to that Scribling Sot , Who doth to the Romans bow ; [2] Hail to the Protestant Nat , And hail to his Fulsome Dame , Hail to that Popish Brat That bespatters our Church's same . Hail to that Knave in grain , That never did good in his life , All hail to that Murtherous Cain , Who with Godfre's Ghost is at strife . [3] These Villains do Titus despise , They make him the bane of the Town , They are broaching ten thousand lyes 'Bout his Salamancha Gown ; They Curse him for saving the Land , And are plotting his same to destroy , Till Jack Ketch takes such Rascals in hand Our peace we shall never enjoy . [4] They call him a shred of a Loom They call him an Orthodox beast They Stile-him the Curse and the Doom Of the Lay-man as well as the Priest , Both Papist and Presbyter too ; Oh how do these lyes agree ? Sweet Nat I 'le be judged by you , Unfold me this Mistery . [5] Oh Titus how have we abus'd Thy kindness and love to this Land ? Our safety how have we refus'd ? How naked and bare do we stand ? We give way to the Plotters apace Those that save us we go to destroy , Oh! where is our wisdom and grace ? How can we our comfort enjoy ? [6] Titus the light of the Town They call Thee , ( and well they may ) But Banks that Papisticall Clown Calls Thee so in a jeering way ; He calls Thee , the scorn of the Court , Oh! pity it should be so : What catle do thither resort By abusing of Thee we may know . [7] It galls them toth ' heart we perceive That against any Popish Lord Our Nobles should Titus believe , They grieve that he was not abhor'd . They fret because Stafford , did die , And that Shaftsbury yet is a live , See where their Religion doth lie Cramm'd up in a Popish Bee-hive . [8] Titus did swear a pace Against some that he never saw , What man has the brazen face To say he Transgrest the Law ? King , Council and Parliament , all Believ'd him we plainly see , Those that do not I wish they may fall By a Rope from the Triple Tree .
