THE Iesuites Lamentation , FOR THE DISCOVERY Of their two late PLOTS , OF THE APPRENTICES AND THE Irish Massacre . Alas ! what Trust in Devil , or in Pope ! Sandy Foundations , both betray our Hope . How oft the first has promised us to quell , The English Hereticks , with force from Hell ? Yet still we 'ave seen him baffl'd , made a Fool , And all his Plots turn'd into Ridicule . I doubt he never will be trusted more , But by some ugly Witch , or pocky Whore , And for a silly Cully now must pass , Since Luxemburg has prov'd him such an Ass. And very little signifies , we see The Popes admired Infallibility : How oft as he assur'd us we should thrive , And Hereticks like Chaff , before us drive ? Us and our great Designs how oft hath blest ? And with delusive Hopes has us possest ; Yet though the Pope and Devil both agree , Trusting the one's Infallibility , And much confideing in the other's Power , Our Friends are still lock'd up within the Tower , And to our Cost in spite of Hell and Pope , Some of us have been nooz'd with fatal Rope . Like a Collossus strutting we did stand , With Footting firm , and fixt in either Land , And strid from London , to the Irish Strand . Assured now , to make our Power known , And two great Kingdoms to have overthrown : By new made Plots , fine Trains , and deep Designs , When we were just about to spring our Mines , Great Brittains watchful Genius step'd between , Who stood as Guardian of the Land unseen , In spite of Devil , Pope , and all our Skill , Upon our wretched Heads has turn'd the Ill. Has cut our strong and fine spun thrid in twain , And once more rendred our Attempts in Vain . Since Hell nor Pope can't help us at dead lift , And that we 'ave almost now try'd every shift , With diligence , with hazard , and with Care , We now may hang our selves through sad dispair Our Cause is fallen , spite of Hell and Pope , We hop'd a Crown , but we have caught a Rope . What shall we do , now Hell and Pope do fail , Must we like Cowards on the Cause turn tail ? Like beaten Soldiers out of Breath retire , And leave our mighty Hopes bogg ▪ d in the Mire ? O no , we are not such poor spirited Elves , We 'l trust nor Hell nor Pope , but to our selves : We plainl● see now , that they both were Fools , And may learn Wit and breeding in our Schools . We will not thus give hopeful England o're , We will endevour still : hatch one Plot more , And such a one as certainly shan't fail , Joyn Fox's Head , to Lions Paw and Tail . We 'l lap no more , from thence have sprung our harms , Our next Attempt shall be by force of Arms. For little Godfreys wee 'l no longer Angle , But Cut the Heretick Throat we cannot strangle . And quickly change the Catterwauling Notes , Of Dugdale , Bedlow , Smith , and Praunce , & Oats . The Bug ▪ bear's gon , that mighty Cat of Prey , The little Mice will now begin to play , Who are of very quick and eager Scent , And now may nibble Cheese of Government . The greater Rats shall stand more in Awe , Of nimble Cat , arm'd with a scratching Paw . A stinking Blast , from filthy Bum has spread , And thorow Nostrils fum'd into ev'ry Head , So rank , so strong , and stinking now it grows , Snuft up into every silly foolish Nose , Who snuffle with this Jesuettick Pose , That now our Plots they never more can smell , Should they of Powder stink , as ranck as Hell . Once more all Hands , let us now stoutly try , To set up Mass , or bravely Martyrs dye : For if we fail , they 'l say 't was bravely striven , What should we fear , Tyburn's the Gate to Heav'n . FINIS .
