And yet see, how shee's brought to bed in State
How many thousands hir congratulate
Being at hir labour met. I wonder she
Was brought to bed alone in companie.
But now ther's no such matter; Rome would faine
Once travaile with a second birth againe.
And see, the Pope grows big indeede: How now
What, hath not Rome had breeding Popes enough
How did your Card'nalls misse the chayre, that they
Have let another she-Pope slip away?
Oh 'tis no matter, they'l take care that she
Be not deliver'd now too openly.
The heav'n no more shall prove a Canopie
The Market place no more a chamber be.
When this shall be deliver'd Rome will bye
A privie-chamber for this secrecie.
(Had not Pope Ione bin brought to bed so patt,
She would have found a vault too for hir Bratt.
But see, the birth day's come; Conduct your who•
Vnto hir privie-chamber, where ther's store
Of Pluto's Pothecarie drugs that be
Provided for her safe delivirie.
What? Is she yet in labour? hath she got
Hir Predicessors faculty or not?
Had she an harder travaile then your Ione?
What hath God sent hir tro? what two or one
I feare she was so overbig, that shee
With Bratt miscarri'd in deliverie.
•oe full the time she reckon'd on before?
•as this hir first conceived bratt, that shee
•efore hir time met hir deliverie?
•hat? Is the child still borne? Tis so I see
•he birth's abortive, though the mother be.
Thus have I seene an hasty apple drop
•bortive from the tree before the crop.
•ut then 'twas rotten, blasted, withered
•lthough the mother-tree was no way dead.)
•he still-borne batt hath thus miscarried,
•was not deliver'd though delivered.
The womb that casts before the time doth still
Threaten the Infant, if not alwaies kill.
•her's now the Infant which new borne had slaine
•t once both England & her soverainge?
•hich had spitt living coales as he begann
•o live, and dy'd as they had dyed than.
•hat meanes November's fift day and the store
•rovided for the birth so long before?
•he purple whore this day expected shee
•ould have beene blest with her deliverie.
•his day once come, the birth was nigh indeed;
•t th' Bratt was still borne, we delivered.
The child, which dyes before it lives, doth still
Threaten the Mother Parent, if not kill.
