Britaine and Irelands last adew To Rome , and Babels cursed crew . SInce Jock and Jack by happie chance are ioynd in amitie : You popish Monsieurs march to France , you Dons to Castalee . Let Romish frogs return to Rome , and meane them to the Pope : If here they haunt , expect a doome no better nor a rope . Our Irish Shane with weeping eye , mones he lov'd Rome so long : And now to God and Britaine he regraits his woes and wrong , Entreating them for Christs blest woundes , that he reliev'd may be From errors pits wherein he swouns least blinded there he die . For why ? in Turkie , Rome , nor Spain was not such crueltie , Nor for God Saints such barbarous pain , such shame and miserie . Such grinding of the poor ones face , such plots of Church and State , Unpunished were in no place , as in our land of late . Trueman to God and to his King , did at Knockfergus die ; And there a spectacle did hing , whiles traitours honourd be . March on brave Jock , thy lot is so , Gods game for to begin : To free thy self and brethren two from that proud man of sin . Jack use thy time , and busie be to chase these frogs a way , And with brave Jock bear company who will thee lend a day . At Tyne hee 'l on thy service stay , while thou well satled be : And for Schans sake alongs the wa● to Dublin march with thee . Those Romish Brambles to root out , which have overgrown that land , And Wentworths weeds to dig about , which in Christ field there stand . And when brave Jock returns from Tyne , and Schane from Rome set free , Jock will with Jack march to the Rhyne the Palsgraves bounds to see . There to avenge the woes and wrong of our Eli●a faire , Whose Princely race horn down so long is by the Spainiard there . I hope our Lyon once will wake , and with his Libbards strong , His Sisters race to take to heart his Martiall thoughts among . The pricking Thissle shall convoy Christs Ensignes to those bounds : And Hibers Harps with greatest ioy shall warble forth their sounds . O if that blessed Day would daw , which Jock and Jack would see , Then they with courage in a raw should march to Germanie . To clip the Eagles soaring wings , and curbe in pride full ●● paine : Then he as God in Rome who reignes shall fall , not rise againe . The Lord who hath this work begun , make it pertlied be ; And when these troublous times are done end Sions miserie . Amen quoth he , who prayes these three By God conjoin'd in unitie , May still in one Religion Fear God , under one tripled Crown : That Dag●● heer as he hath been May neer Gods ark no more be seen .
