LORETTO and WINIFRED . OR , A New Way of Getting of Children , viz. By Prayers and Presents . To the Tune of Packington's Pound . YE Trickling Papists , Lady Abbess and Nuns , That are piously weak , yet fain would have Sons ; The Saints must be Pray'd to , and the Priests have their Gain , Or else all your S — ving , and Praying 's in vain . First you must receive The Physick they give , But an Accipe hoc , and you 're sure to conceive : Then away to Bethesda , wash , give and adore , For the Church can do this , and a Thousand Things more . II . Ye languishing Wives ! that are willing to Bear , Ne'er lose your Estates for want of an Heir ; Hither come for Advice , for your Countenance shews Ye 're Plagu'd with the Whites , and abundance of those : When once 't is begun , The Work is half done , If the Church do but say it , be sure 't is a Son . Then do not Dispair , though you 're Barren and Sick , But try these Commanders of Placket and P—k . III . The Physick that 's used , and surely will do , Is Elixir of T — 's , prepar'd you know how ; It 's given by Drops , in something that 's warm , But a Spoonful or two , will do you no harm . Ye must not deny , But patiently lie With one of Rome's Priests , with a Crucifix by ; Then never give o'er till ye 've purchas'd an Heir , Thus got by the means of — Presents and Prayer . IV . Ye Men may have help too , there 's nothing more apt , Though your Reins are grown weak , and confoundedly Clapt , Our Lady can do it , if you get her good Will , And a Priest S — ve your Wives to cover her Skill , She will give a Nod To show she 's a God , And you must believe it though never so Odd : Then down on your Knees , and for ever Adore The Church that sends Heirs , though the Heiress be a Whore . FINIS .
