SInce Arrival , Proclaiming and Crowning is o'●e , And song upon song made , what wou'd you have more Why yet after all , In Prophesie b●ing , 'T is writ here in Verses for Lasses to Sing ; And therefore come buy t●is new Di●ty for why , The truth of this Story there 's none can deny We see by the Stars that promo●ion will be , Extended to persons of e'ery degr●e . When we are united all ove● 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 Resolving against all the Rom●●● 〈◊〉 stand , Vnder the Protection of William our King And pay our Allegiance in ever y thing And Protestant Boys , with a thund'ring noise , Has routed Tyrconnel , and all his Dear-Ioys , Then all these three Kingdoms will flourish again , and we shall be blest with a Prosperous Reign . When Lawyers at Westminster plead without Fees , And Travallers walk all the turbulent Seas Without any Vessel from Brittain to Spain , And when it does fair Maids and Feather-beds rain ; When Rome and her crew , are both Loyal and true , And bid all their Treasons and Plottings adieu ; I say when these wonders come truly to pass , The Protestants all will admire the Mass . When Lasses are mothers by lying alone . And Sheffery finds the Philosophers Stone , And England is wall'd round with Silver and Gold , When Knaves will not honest-mens Treasures with-hol● When Fryers grow chaste , and will not embrace Young Ladies that comes with an amorous grace , To make an ingenious confess●on of Sin , Then Rome will be purer than e'er she has been . When every River with Brandy does run , And hard stony Rocks they do melt with the Sun ; When Fishes make Honey that swims in the Seas , And Oranges grows upon Sycamore Trees ; When Vsurers they throw their money away , And then fill their Bags and their Coffers with clay ; When this comes to pass I will make it appear , That Rome shall be honour'd by Protestants here . When the richest Amber of pebbles is made , And Diamonds with Iewels for Gravel is laid , The City and Country Roads to repair . When Towers and Castles do fly in the air , And great Ships refrain , the vast wide Ocean main , And sails in the middle of Salisbury plain , When all these strange wonders comes fairly to pass The Protestants then shall admire the Mass . Here is a prediction for Lasses likewise , The wh●ch will their longing desires suffice ; When ever you 're merry be modest and chaste , And al days give way to your betters in place ; Tho' you lye alone , yet make not your moan , For here by the Stars it is very well known , If you will be thrifty and both get and safe , When you are all marry'd you Husbands shall have .
