Earl of Rochester.

How-will you make the Moth er-Church to mourn,

And to Fanaticks be the fublick Scorn ?

For Shame, dear Seals, reserve your noble FloodTo spend •with Man. A bash’d the Warriors stood,

To fee the Holy Fa her in the-Place ;

But strait on th’ Matter putting a good Face,

Thus K — P — spake : To you, O Rev'rend Sir,

The 'Jusiness of the Cause 1 will transfer ;

A Cause too great for Laymen •vile to try \

Fit for Plus Ultra’/ deep Divinity ;

A Cause for which bless'd Saints above wou'd die !

The modest Tall-Boy so devout appears,

Tho’ stealing——, you’d think ihe said herPray’rs;And tho’ Ihe’ad almost won the bloody Field,

WithS — P — (Babe of Grace) to this does yield.

The Cause being stated, holy Man does prayFora Blessingon’s Endeavours, then does fay :

WHEREAS, sage Matrons you do all agree "1

Your Case to yield to my Integrity, y

Fitter for General Council, than weak Me ; I

D - a lawful Tool, deny't who can,

TH prove ’tis made for a Meet-Help for Man jAs unto Be Hor, Curate is Assistant,

So D - to fall'n —, when ——> has piss d on't. - '

But here's the Eledl ordain'd for Propagation,

Who trusts in this is bless'd in Generation :

This has done more than Tunbridge, Bath, or Epsom ;Though ne'er so barren, this is sure to help 'em.

Then pulling out the Rector of the Females,

Nine Times he bath’d him in their piping hot Tails,Panting, quoth he, Now Peace be on you all-,

When I am absent, then on D - . . call;

As thoje in Holy Church to Image pray,

When wonder-working Saint is out o' th' Way.
