Father Petre's Lamentation ; OR , His New-Years-Gift To the DEVIL .

engraving of Catholic priest with devil on his shoulder and windmill coming out of his head Father Peters :

Petre . WHat have we done ! now has the gloomy part Unbosom'd all the utmost of its Art. Has Hell ungorg'd , and from its Entrails thrown Off all the Plots which useful might have grown ? By which we might have ransack'd all the World , And Hereticks to sad Despair have hurl'd . Devil . Labour I did , and much Pains I took , Thro' all the Creeks of Hell did strictly look , Where I might find one Devil that might be Assisting to our Hellish Massacre . But I am deceiv'd ; yet thy Soul must pay Me for my Pains , when hence it flies away . Petre . That I give thee , and would have thank'd thee too , If t' our ruin'd Plots , thou hadst been true : All now are known , and my Assistants are Brought to the Rope , submitting to Despair . The Birth of the false P — is plainly known ; That wretched Door to all the Crowd is shown . Conscience is prickt , which makes 'em more confess Than loaded Hell it self cou'd e're possess . Our Massacreing Arms are all dispers'd , Our Plotting Letters to the World rehears'd : Our Crosses , Books and Papers , now we see , Are come to a deserv'd Catastrophe . Our Fryars , Monks and Jesuits , nay all The Romish Tribe , will in this Conflict fall : And crowded Hell will now so burden'd be , That so at last , there ' l scarce be room for me . Devil . Feed not thy self with such vain Hopes as those , To be the first of all I thee have chose : In Purgatory Flames think not to burn , Where after Death , thou say'st , the Souls return ; But where thou always must expect to be Tortur'd with Flames and vip'rous Cruelty . Come ! hast away ! we have prepared Quarters For Thee and thy Fellow Regulators , Nigh Father Garnet , and such Popish-Martyrs . FINIS .
