And

Between their fuel and their wooden gods. The log, that in their woodyard lies, may prove,

As the chance hits, a billet or a Jove.
'Tis as it haps, he's worshipp'd, or he's
burn'd;

Or to a god, or to a gate-poft turn'd.
Of the like folly we may papifts blame,
Their deity and dumpling are the same.
The wafer's god, they fay, or something
better;

Then on its fellow fpit, to feal a letter. . The god of wood's by much to be prefer'd, There's nofe, and eyes, and cheeks, and chin, and beard:

He makes at least a figure in a house,
The water's scarce a morfel for a moufe.
Yet papifts fay, he's here at once, and
there,

God-wafer ev'ry thing, and ev'ry where.
And if the deity, it must be so,

A god in bread, a billet in the dough.
'Twill ferve to cram a pullet, or a faint;
A papift fave, and damn a protestant.
But the difpute will be, the god, who

makes?

Or he who bleffes it, or he who bakes?
The baker in this godhead has a share;
For while 'tis dough the godfhip is not
there.

And bocus pocus by the friar faid,
Divinity's transfus'd into the bread.
Thus priest and baker must together join,
And dough be bak'd, and blefs'd to be
divine.

All proteftants are worfe than infidel,
Not to believe what's fo impoffible.
It cannot be, and that is reafon good,
For catholicks to fwear 'tis flesh and blood.
That faith's not worth a fig, which can't
[fenfe.

With things that give the lye to common 'Tis against reason, is it? That's enough, A popish creed demands no better proof, Have you not feen at fair of Barthol mew, High-German with light fingers wonders do. With cups and balls? Beneath the conjuring cup

He puts a buckle and a ball turns up.
So here the popish priest by trick as odd,
Puts in a wafer, and pulls out a god.

A ROMISH PRIEST refufed Entrance inta HELL.

FFLICTED fore with gout or ftone,
But which we do not find,

Not long ago died friar John,

And left this world behind.
To hell's dire gate the trembling wight
Was now approaching near,
When ftraight the centry of the night
Roar'd horrid,-who comes there?
A priest I am from holy Rome,
Quoth John, for want of grace
Condemn'd, alas! to have my doom
In this tremendous place.

A prieft! ftand back, reply'd the guard,
Your wicked life to rue.

Is there no other hell prepar'd

For canibals like you?

Go, wretch, go, where you may, remove,
For I fhall always fear,

That you, who eat your god above,
Will eat the devil here *.

GRATITUDE.

HO' hard my fate, nor did the Nine Their injur'd bard defend, Yet ftill I'll heav'nly virtue praife, And love a candid friend. My foul adores an honest man,

An open, lib'ral heart,

That fcorns to do a mean, but glows
To at a gen'rous part.

And fuch Caftalio is, whose bowl

Has oft unbent my mind,

Pleas'd, tho' a world look'd fhy, to meet
One man of honour kind.

His focial virtues charm'd my care,
And made misfortune light;
No beauty like a heart fincere

Can brighten grief and night.
But let me not fair Laura pals,
Whofe unaffected grace
Makes sweetness double, and refines
Each beauty of her face:

To fee her at the kind, humane,

The charitable part,

Who wou'd not feel thofe joys that fwell
A raptur'd parent's heart?
Be dumb, pale envy; her bright charms
Shall fhine when time's no more;
Ye bafe, fly. cunning, felfifh things!
View merit, and adore.

How fweet is virtue! from whofe tomb
Such balmy odours rise,

That facred effences exhale,

And fill the ambient skies.
