VI. ENGLAND'S UPRISING.
Ye parish priests of England,
The good, the pure, the true!
These angry rhymes in these fierce times
Are never flung at you;
They only hit the traitorous band
That shames your reverend ranks,
For heart and hand with you we stand
To stop their Popish pranks,
So, clergymen of England,
We claim your hearty thanks!
The good, the pure, the true!
These angry rhymes in these fierce times
Are never flung at you;
They only hit the traitorous band
That shames your reverend ranks,
For heart and hand with you we stand
To stop their Popish pranks,
So, clergymen of England,
We claim your hearty thanks!
For, Jesuit priests in England,
Iscariots of our home,
Now scheme and strive to lure or drive
Their English flocks to Rome;
And lest our Mother Church and State,
Through some such Judas crew,
Meet evil fate from their sly hate,
We stand up straight with you,
O clergymen of England,
The faithful found and true.
Iscariots of our home,
Now scheme and strive to lure or drive
Their English flocks to Rome;
And lest our Mother Church and State,
Through some such Judas crew,
Meet evil fate from their sly hate,
We stand up straight with you,
O clergymen of England,
The faithful found and true.
Thus, lay and priests of England,
We millions far and wide
Rising in might to help the right,
Will fight on the same side;
And though false priests, and bishops too,
Trouble us sore and long,
Now, as of yore, from shore to shore
We both will stand up strong,
Clergy and lay for England,
That England take no wrong!
We millions far and wide
Rising in might to help the right,
Will fight on the same side;

Trouble us sore and long,
Now, as of yore, from shore to shore
We both will stand up strong,
Clergy and lay for England,
That England take no wrong!
Yes, free and generous England,
Thy children, clerk and lay,
Together stand, a brother band,
For ever and a day;
Resolved that Cardinal and Pope
Shall not again be brought
To wreck in hate our Church and State,
As Bloody Mary wrought:
For we will rise for England,
To save her as we ought.

To save her as we ought.
