A NEW SONG, CALLED _
he Orangeman’s Drum
"THESE are a few lines composed of late times, ©
That go by the name of the Protestant drum,
Made against the Catholic Religion you will find,
Thinking toinsult them whenever they came,
These Imes:they'are heinous and likewise blasphemous,
Against our blessed Mother and ‘her. ily Son,
He is honoured by Christians and slig ited by philistines,
Insulted by them and. the @rangeman’s Drum. '
In searching the book the first Chapter of Luke,
7 would have you peruse it, and there you will find, .
That an angel appeared, as you quickly shall hear,
To our blessed Mother and told her his mind, :
The Scripturesis clear, as it does appear,
"That she got, power from her only Son TANK
The 28 verse. as it does rehearse, Ce ere
-Altho’ she'is mocked bythe Ő rangeman’s Drum.
They mock at St. Peter, ani that issno:matter,
They will pay for it all either sooner or late,
They mock atthe cross, but that's-to their loss,
Vhey will surely repent when ‘they come to the gate, ¬
Unstead uf a cross they will meet with a loss,
"When their orange and purple will be overcome, _
‘They'll tremble with fear when their sentence they hear,
"And be beat down tovhell by the ‘Orangemas’s Drum.
King William.is the man, as we understand, |
‘Whom they do-su ppose to be their-chief gudie, "
‘But were they tu know what they ‘have ‘to undergo,
. They Would-quickly revolt:to ‘the ‘other side,
King Dives in chains, tormented with ‘flames, |
To each loyal:brother for aid‘he did-run, — 3 "a
Tbey will tremble and quake when bound to a stake,
And then-curse the name-of the '@rangeman’s Drum.
These Catholics you ‘know have many a foe,
‘On every side for to-keep'them down, © jos
