<HEAD>A CONSULTATION BETWEEN THE POPE AND A JESUIT, Concerning the way how to introduce POPERY into <HI>ENGLAND.</HI></HEAD>
<SP>
<SPEAKER>POPE.</SPEAKER>
<LG>
<L>IN &s;pite of all our Arts and Force,</L>
<L>Will <HI>England</HI> &s;till rebel?</L>
<L>And doth it &s;till wax wor&s;e and wor&s;e,</L>
<L>Mauger our aids from Hell?</L>
<L>Sure now your Stratagems can do no more</L>
<L>Than my vain Thunderbolts could do before.</L>
</LG>
</SP>
<SP>
<SPEAKER>JES&V;IT.</SPEAKER>
<LG>
<L>'Tis true, whatever yet we dur&s;t,</L>
<L>Hath ineffectual been,</L>
<L>Since that you were rejected fir&s;t</L>
<L>By an <HI>Heretical Queen.</HI></L>
<L>Yet &s;till we to your <HI>Holine&s;s</HI> are true:</L>
<L>Wee'l never cea&s;e, till <HI>England</HI>'s under you.</L>
</LG>
</SP>
<SP>
<SPEAKER>POPE.</SPEAKER>
<LG>
<L>'Tis well re&s;olv'd; but yet I fear,</L>
<L>That while you do pretend</L>
<L>To be the Pillars that do bear</L>
<L>Me up, and me defend;</L>
<L>You be the only men at la&s;t that &s;hall</L>
<L>Cau&s;e, and procure my Empires dreaded fall.</L>
</LG>
</SP>
<SP>
<SPEAKER>JES&V;IT.</SPEAKER>
<LG>
<L>When every day to rout that <HI>Sect</HI></L>
<L>Of <HI>Prote&s;tants,</HI> we dare</L>
<L>Trea&s;ons commit, can you &s;u&s;pect</L>
<L>That we unfaithful are?</L>
<L>When Halters, Gibbets, (I need not name the re&s;t)</L>
<L>Are our reward, d'ee think we are in je&s;t?</L>
</LG>
</SP>
<SP>
<SPEAKER>POPE.</SPEAKER>
<LG>
<L>'Tis but for want of care (I trow)</L>
<L>Your Plots are always found.</L>
<L>You never lay them deep enough,</L>
<L>Though &s;ometimes under ground.</L>
<L>The World is wi&s;er now than heretofore:</L>
<L>We now can gull men through the No&s;e no more.</L>
</LG>
</SP>
<SP>
<SPEAKER>JES&V;IT.</SPEAKER>
<LG>
<L>But may it plea&s;e your <HI>Holine&s;s,</HI></L>
<L>(For you cannot mi&s;take,</L>
<L>Or el&s;e we lye that &s;o profe&s;s)</L>
<L>Even for your credit &s;ake</L>
<L>Give us &s;ome Rules, that when we lay a Plot,</L>
<L>Nothing mi&s;carry till we our ends have got.</L>
</LG>
</SP>
<SP>
<SPEAKER>POPE.</SPEAKER>
<LG>
<L>That was to me a ble&s;&s;ed day,</L>
<L>When <HI>Kings</HI> would not rebel,</L>
<L>For fear le&s;t I (&s;uch Fools were they)</L>
<L>Should cur&s;e them into Hell,</L>
<L>But now, &s;ince, when they're cur&s;t, they nothing all,</L>
<L>They'l turn their backs, and bid me ki&s;s their&mdash;.</L>
</LG>
</SP>
<SP>
<SPEAKER>JES&V;IT.</SPEAKER>
<LG>
<L>There was a time too, when you cou'd,</L>
<L>With &s;peaking of a word,</L>
<L>Have turn'd whole Kingdoms into blood,</L>
<L>And given all to the Sword.</L>
<L>Since now you can't, What way do you propo&s;e,</L>
<L>(Be &s;ure wee'l follow't) to de&s;troy our foes?</L>
</LG>
</SP>
<SP>
<SPEAKER>POPE.</SPEAKER>
<LG>
<L>I did of old oblige the <HI>Turk</HI></L>
<L>To help me in my need;</L>
<L>Should he come there, hee'd make fine work:</L>
<L>Hee'd rout them all indeed.</L>
<L>On him I did an obligation lay,</L>
<L>Poi&s;oning his <HI>Brother</HI> who &s;tood in his way.</L>
</LG>
</SP>
<SP>
<SPEAKER>JES&V;IT.</SPEAKER>
<LG>
<L>If he your gifts did under&s;tand,</L>
<L>(Who gave him <HI>Greece</HI> but you?)</L>
<L>Sure he would lend his helping hand,</L>
<L>The <HI>Hereticks</HI> to &s;ubdue.</L>
<L>No doubt if once you had him on your &s;ide,</L>
<L>Between your &s;elves you might the World divide.</L>
</LG>
</SP>
<SP>
<SPEAKER>POPE.</SPEAKER>
<LG>
<L>No doubt, if you I can but place</L>
<L>(As &s;ome are plac'd with <HI>Kings</HI>)</L>
<L>To be Confe&s;&s;or to his Grace,</L>
<L>You may do mighty things.</L>
<L>He will not &s;uch a <HI>Monarchy</HI> di&s;dain,</L>
<L>Permitting me in <HI>Spirituals</HI> to reign.</L>
</LG>
</SP>
<SP>
<SPEAKER>JES&V;IT.</SPEAKER>
<LG>
<L>But here a Que&s;tion I demand,</L>
<L>Whether, if this &s;ucceed,</L>
<L>And <HI>Turk</HI> and you go hand in hand</L>
<L>To pro&s;ecute it with &s;peed,</L>
<L>The <HI>Turk</HI> and you will ea&s;ily agree,</L>
<L>That you &s;hould <HI>Christ's,</HI> or <HI>Mahomet's Vicar</HI> be?</L>
</LG>
</SP>
<SP>
<SPEAKER>POPE.</SPEAKER>
<LG>
<L>That I regard not, &s;o that I</L>
<L>May have the power I crave:</L>
<L>Nor <HI>Chri&s;t,</HI> nor <HI>Mahomet</HI> I'le deny,</L>
<L>So that I power have.</L>
<L>The <HI>Indians</HI> are our Converts, yet you know</L>
<L>They reverence both <HI>Saints</HI> and <HI>Devils</HI> too.</L>
</LG>
</SP>
<SP>
<SPEAKER>JES&V;IT.</SPEAKER>
<LG>
<L>Your <HI>Holine&s;s</HI> is &s;o wi&s;e, I know,</L>
<L>That if this way &s;hould fail,</L>
<L>(You have two &s;trings unto your Bow)</L>
<L>The other will prevail.</L>
<L>When <HI>Peter's Keys</HI> would do no good, you took</L>
<L><HI>Paul's Sword,</HI> and threw the <HI>Keys</HI> into the Brook.</L>
</LG>
</SP>
<SP>
<SPEAKER>POPE.</SPEAKER>
<LG>
<L>You mu&s;t not &s;peak of what I now</L>
<L>Into your ear do tell:</L>
<L>If here I mi&s;s the Plot (I vow)</L>
<L>I'le lay as deep as Hell.</L>
<L>For if the <HI>Turk</HI> unto me don't prove civil,</L>
<L>I'le ca&s;t him off, and bargain with the <HI>Devil.</HI></L>
</LG>
<LG>
<L>So <HI>Gehazi</HI> his <HI>Ma&s;ter</HI> us'd,</L>
<L>Who took the <HI>Syrians</HI> gift.</L>
<L>I'le take whatever <HI>Chri&s;t</HI> refus'd,</L>
<L>To help at a dead lift.</L>
<L>Though <HI>Chri&s;t</HI> abhor'd what I account my bli&s;s,</L>
<L>I'le wor&s;hip <HI>Satan,</HI> rather than it mi&s;s.</L>
</LG>
</SP>
<SP>
<SPEAKER>JES&V;IT.</SPEAKER>
<LG>
<L>Sure this will hit, though all things fail,</L>
<L>If <HI>Satan</HI> lend his aid,</L>
<L>Wee'l make the Gates of Hell prevail,</L>
<L>Though <HI>Chri&s;t</HI> contrary &s;aid.</L>
<L>He cannot &s;ure deny't to &s;uch a <HI>Friend,</HI></L>
<L>That always &s;trives his Kingdoms to extend.</L>
</LG>
<LG>
<L>I'le tell you more, This is a way</L>
<L>Your <HI>Predece&s;&s;ors</HI> tried</L>
<L>With good &s;ucce&s;s: They got the &s;way</L>
<L>And never were denied.</L>
<L><HI>Pope Hildebrand</HI> that rais'd your Empire high,</L>
<L>Would often to the <HI>Devils</HI> &s;uccour fly,</L>
<L>Or el&s;e good Writers do him much bely.</L>
