that you will be known by your very Deaths Wounds Why look ye Dear Joys in whom do you believe 1. Officer We believe in the Virgin Mary and St. Pautrick 4. Priest And don't you believe the Cause of the holy Mother the Church to be a good Cause 2. Officer Yesh by my shoule do we 4. Priest Why then y' are worse than Turks if ye don't fight to the last gasp in a good Cause For the Turks believe they never shall dye till their time appointed be come and that has made 'em so victorious if your time be come it matters not whether you be slain by a Bullet or a fall down Stairs in your Vsquebah if your time be not come all the Bullets in the Kingdom can never touch ye 3.

Priest Look ye my Lord this is the only way to make these People fight For if the considerations of future Beatitude so sensual as we make it won't do nothing else I am sure will do it And therefore my Lord you see we have made it as sensual as that of Mahomets Primate I like your way very well Fathers therefore come to me and I 'le let ye have Pardons by the Bushel you may get what you can from the Commanders but let the Common Souldiers have 'em for nothing Brass Money signifies little at Rome Nugent There is one way more we have forgot which is the Turkish way to intoxicate their Souldiers with Opium before they engage for since the most Christian King makes use of the Turkish Force we may as well make use of the Turkish Policy Put Opium in their Snush and they rush into Battel and sight for a time like Game-Cocks so that the Enemy will never be able to withstand their Lubberly Multitude Tyrcon This way or that way or any way so we can but get 'em to stand the Brushes they are like to endure And therefore Fathers try the force of your Divinity-Magick 4.

However shew 'em not Great Sir that will dishearten all the rest James No My Lord not so neither I 'le have one brush for 't you may be sure what e're comes on 't But you know my Lord we must be forc'd to leave Dublin but thinly mann'd behind us and 't is a fowl Nest of Hereticks I wish they had bin all transported long ago Tyr. You know Sir that was debated in Council at the beginning But then it was found that all the Butchers Brewers Bakers Clothiers Weavers Taylors Shoo-makers Hat-makers Smiths Carpenters and other Artizans were Hereticks so that had they bin remov'd your Souldiers could have had neither Meat Bread nor Drink nor Cloaths to wear nor Carts to carry their Provision and Ammunition into the Field nor would your Majesty have had a Mint and Workmen to Coyn your Brass and Copper Nugent However Sir there is Order taken to secure the Hereticks safe enough Your own Example in England in Monmouth's time has taught us to confine 'em all with in the Churches Hospitals and Jayls of the City 'till the Business be well over and then you may make Bonfires of 'em for your Victories James Well then that care 's over But how stands the Army affected for fighting are they in the same brave humour they were in when I last took a view of ' em Tyr. I think so Sir they show the same Symptoms of Valour as ever they Drink as hard Swear as hard toss about your Health as fast Bounce and Rant and Swagger as loud as ever and quarrel with one another as much as e're they did and why they should not fight the Enemy as Boldly and Couragiously as they Duel one another I know not This I dare say they will either fight or run away but that 's left to their Discretion James Well but to come more close to the Business you see the Newry's lost and you all agree that if we lose Ardee the Boyne is the next Pass to be defended so that it looks like stopping one Torrent by another Hamilton Goads Bread and I 'le undertake to hold the Enemy play there this whole Summer or I 'le give him leave to make a whistle o' my Tayl James Bravely said Hamilton but is the River fordable for if it be Ham. What if it be I 'le have it undermin'd and blow 'em up if they offer to set foot in the water James Greatly said again Hamilton But I have heard that Old Prince William of Nassau had such a Trick of passing Rivers that Duke d'Alva put the Question whether his Army had wings or no Now suppose our Enemies should have such a knack Ham. Bread a Goad Sir I have men under my Command that will kill a Sparrow or a Tit-Mouse flying much more a Horse or a Man if they do not fly in the Night James But what if they do Ham. What if they do Why then bread a Goad Sir I have a way to prevent that too by driving stakes into the ground all along this side of the River for many Miles together with their upper ends as sharp as Needles so that when they come to light they must of necessity spit themselves with their own weight A General without Stratagems is like a Mountebank without his Receipts James Well my Lords if we can but stop him ten days I make no question but to see an Alteration of the Weather in our Affairs for I have certain intelligence from Our Brother of France that he has so ordered it in England that the Prince's Fleet will not fight but leave the Dutch in the Lurch if they presume an Engagement so that the French being Masters of the Sea we shall have what Assistance we desire here besides a numerous Invasion of England it self to joyn with our Friends in that Kingdom My Brother of France well knows that if I fall his Universal Monarchy must sink My Lords these are my hopes and these my Fears Talbot Does your great Game dear Sir depend upon a ten days stop that 's too too mean to beg of hoary Time We 'll make it Agamemnon's Toyl to gain the Boyne I scorn to fly Ham. And so do I Gillicuddy And so do I Butler And so do I Unless the Souldiers turn their backs and Flie For 't was never my ambition to fight whole Armies alone Enter an Irish Souldier staring and Breathless Tyr. How now Fellow-Souldier what News Sould. By my Shoule Dear Joy very bad I wash one of those that was set to guard the Pash within four miles of the Newry and there we had news that the Danes and the Dutch were advanced as far as the Newry presently they sent us word that if we burnt any more Houses they would give no quarter either to French or Eerish By and by we saw a Party of them appear at a distance and by St. Pautrick they look'd all like your Sharazens with turn-pike Beards on each side their Mouths as sharp as Boars Tushes which made such a great fear upon us that we presently quitted the Pash and made haste to Ardee my Dear Joy Had your Lordship bin there my Dear Joy you would have done the shame by my Shoule Tyrcon Could you observe their Number Sould. By my shoule dear Joy I believe there might be about thirty Thousand Tyrcon How thirty Thousand Man Sould. By my shoule they made so great fear upon me that I have hardly yet recovered my self By St. Pautrick I am shure there was great many more than four hundred Tyr. Well is this all you can say Sould. Yesh

Where was my Royal Father all this while Mess He stood upon a rising ground i' the Rear out of harms way where with Tears in his Eyes for a while he beheld the bad Condition of his Affairs till at length my Lord Tyrconnel crying out with a despairing Voice Sauvez le Roy and his Majesty seeing his Army all in disorder took care to save himself and fled with all speed to Dublin D. of B. What was our loss Mess The loss of the whole Kingdom an 't like your Grace D. of B. I mean what our particular loss Mess About fifteen hundred slain and a great number of Prisoners I forgot to tell you Sir there was one whole Regiment ran away without so much as taking up their Arms from the ground where they had Regimentally laid 'em Sarsf Those were Sparks of Venus I 'le warrant ye Sir such as had rather fight in a Brothel-House than in a pitch'd Field a blessed story Now the Devil take me if all these Fellows do not deserve to be fairly hang'd out of the way that we may have no more of the breed of 'em Oh Yonder I see some of the Rascals coming hither for shelter The Scene discovers a great number of Fugitives running to Sarsfield 's Body for security Enter half a score dusty Teagues Sarsf Scoundrels where have you left your Arms 1. Souldier By my shoule dear Joy we have left 'em behind us 2. Sould. By my shoule dear Joy we made great fire upon the Enemies till they came so near us that we were afraid they would have taken us Prisoners by St. Pautrick 3. Sould. By Creesh dear Joy I club'd out the Brains of no less than seven Hereticks at one time yesh marry did I Sarsf I warrant they were dead before 3. Sould. Yesh indeed were they dear Joy but they made such fear upon me as they lay that I resolv'd to kill 'em again 4. Sould. By Creesh now 't was in my Thoughts to have fought like a Devil but the Rogues sent us word that if we did they would give us no Quarter and so when all run I run for good Company Sarsf The Deaths of drown'd Kittens in a Horse-Pond attend ye all What encouragement has a Man of Courage to entrust himself with such Vermin I 'de trust my self as soon in a Hare-Warren against a Heard of Wolves 5. Souldier By my shoule dear Joy you do us wrong we did as much as Men could do but we met with Men that were more than Men You know dear Joy it is a hard matter to row against the Stream but these Men fought against the Stream and yet beat us They stood i' th' Water like Stakes and fir'd so fast out of the Water upon us that we could not stand upon the dry Land D. of B. Come Colonel there 's no help for no Remedy 'T is my Royal Father's Misfortune to work with bad Tools and the best Artist in the World can never make a Silk Purse of a Sows Ear. Sarsfield However there 's Life in a Muscle still the Hereticks have not done all their Work yet we have something still left that will hold 'em play for some time and if we can but get fresh Succours from France we may be able to turn the Scales or else at least to make an honourable Composition for our selves ACT III.

TO Day a Man to Morrow a Mouse Herbert I must confess I was in hopes I might have had a Mace carryed before me as well as my Capital Enemy Jefferies Tyrcon Lose all in one day without hopes of ever having a Back Game to play What will the World think of us They 'l say surely we were either very Improvident or very Confident Gamesters to hazard all at one Throw K. J. I must confess I long mistrusted the Issue of this day and therfore it was that I sent away Trant to prepare Ships for my return into France before the Fight Herbert 'T was ill foreboded an 't please your Majesty but by this you have acquired the Honour of being the greatest Prince in the World happy in your Misfortunes to be both a King a Priest and a Prophet which is more than your Brother Lewis can pretend to A King without contradiction a Priest as being of the Order of Loyola and the Prophet of your own Afflictions Fer. I wish I might have prov'd a false Prophet tho' it had cost me the spoiling of your Compliment my Lord But there 's no staying here They are in quick pursuit I warrrant ye after us therefore send for the Mayor and Aldermen Herbert They attend without Sir Enter Mayor and Aldermen K. J. Gentlemen I had a very good Army in England but when I had the greatest Occasion for them they deserted me When I came into this Kingdom I found my Roman Catholick Subjects well equipped and prepared to defend my Cause And tho' I had been often told that when it came to the touch they would never bear the brunt of a Battel I would never believe it till now 'T is true they did not desert me as in England yet when it came to a Tryal they basely fled the Field and left the Spoil to my Enemies So that hence forward I never more desire to head an Irish Army and now am resolv'd to shift for my self and so must you too So Gentleman Farewell Mayor Now is my Heart as heavy as a six Pounder fit for nothing but a Grocer's Scales to weigh Plums withal and therefore to keep it from sinking to the bottom of my Belly I hope my Brethren and I shall endeavour to lighten it this Night with your Majesties Health before the Enemy comes amongst us 'T is the last thing that we

Scene 6. Tyrconnel Lauzune La Hoquette I Saw him Shipt off and I could not but let fall some of my Radical Moisture at parting but it was only like a short April shower when the Sun shines for indeed under the Rose be it spoken our King is not the man I took him for no man more impatient for the loss of his Crown no man more unwilling to venture himself for the recovery of it Lauzun My Lord my Master 's a Politician and will not let him venture He has charg'd him to the contrary For if he be lost my Master loses the chiefest Instrument he has to disturb his most dreadful Adversary Tyrcon And when your Master finds he can do no good with him what will he do with him then For people have little Kindness for unfortunate Princes especially those that shew themselves more careful of their persons than of their Dominions And therefore if this last Act of his have not quite extinguished that small Remainder of Affection which the English had for him I think they are too blame to be always venturing their Lives and Fortunes in a leaky Bottom Lauzune What will you do then my Lord Tyrcon I 'll e'en do as well as I can I 'le only stay to see Lymerick lost and then I 'le consider I must confess I have some Embers of gratitude still glowing for my Old Patron and Raiser and I would fain do as much for him as I could Lauzune But what shall I do then that have sold all to sollow the Fortune of an Unfortunate Prince I am loth to return home to my own Country to be laught at Tyrcon Faith my Lord I would advise you to carry your Brigade into the Morea as Hawksworth the English Taylor in Ed. the thirds time got leave to march into Italy then variously in Arms where he serv'd them that gave most with that success that at length he had the honour to be buried in Florence under a noble Monument by the name of Giovanni Acuto My Lord when you have got your Men into the Morea you may either side with the Turk your Master 's great Crony or with the Venetian which gives most and by that means after great Renown acquir'd you may chance to be buried either in St. Marks at Venice or else in the Chief Mosquee in Constantinople Lauzune I should be glad my Lord of your Lordships Company and be willing you should share as well in my Fame as in my Funerals Tyrcon Pardon me my Lord for being merry in misfortune an ounce of Mirth is worth a pound of Sorow Hoquette But what shall I do then I have no Brigades to carry either to the Turk or any where else Lauzune Oh! Lieutenant General you may return again to your Native Country without Reflections Hoquette I think my Lord I have as much reason to complain as you our Master might have sent some body else than us of his first of April Errands into a Cowardly Country What Honour did he think we could win among a Company of Captain Cut-puddings that never intended to fight Had we not understood the Right French way of fighting savingly we had been all cut to pieces Tyrcon My Lords I make no question but you have both of ye made up your Mouths pretty well This Island affords good staple Commodities that are good Chaffer in France and sure you did not burn so many Towns and Villages for nothing certainly you skim'd off the Cream of the spoil for your selves Hoquette Something begar we have got you may be sure but not so much as you think for or we expected to gain Ventre Goy I was for plundering of Dublin and then we might ha' fill'd both Pockets Breeches and all now we must be glad to get away with a Flea in our Ears in Comparison as well as we can Would I were well safe once where some of my Luggage lyes Lauzun I wish I were any where but where I am here I neither Command nor am Commanded but lye still for want of work like a Brick-layer in Winter Morbleu I thought to have been Prince of Dublin before this Tyr. I question my Lord whether that would have fallen to your share Lauzune Mortbleu had we beaten the Enemy I could have beaten all your Men my self and then I would have tryed who was Master your King or ours Tyr. Ah my Lord I 'me afraid you shew'd your Teeth too soon and that was the reason our Dogs bit no closer Enter Messenger My Lords the English Army is certainly marching towards ye in two Bodies One General Douglas Commands the other is headed by the Victorious Prince himself Lauzune We have been all along deluded with Stories and untruths Where are your fifty thousand Men my Lord that were to rise in England Tyr. Why Sir they are gone to joyn the twenty thousand Men your Master sent to take the I 'le of Wight don 't your Lordship understand what belongs to false reports yet Lauzane Yes Begar and to true ones too my Lord I wish I had never given Credit to the true ones and I had never lost my true Shouldier of Mutton to snap at the shadow Enter second Messenger The Enemy comes on a-pace and lyes this Night at Goolin Bridge Lauzune Were I not now in an Island I could find a hundred holes to creep out of this Labyrinth I could joyn a hundred of my Master's Parties But in this Lobs Pound what the Diable shall I do with two thousand five hundred Men Well my Lords I 'le leave Lymerick for that would be to shut my self up in a Pound within a Pound and retire to Galloway There I shall either meet with Ships to carry off my Men or else with new Reinforcements from my Master Was ever Man thus Bubbl'd Ventregoy To sell good Land to purchase a Decoy ACT. III. Scene 7. Messenger Lauzune Tyrconnel Berwick Hoquette Sarsfield Talbot MY Lords I come with Winds and Sails as diligent to hasten me as I was zealous to bring you welcome Tidings from St. Germains Berwick Thou seem'st to have rather flown than come by Sea Mess With the same speed your Royal Father flew who was at Tredah the Tenth of July and the Twenty sixth at St. Germains Berwick And is my Royal Father well Mess Upon the twenty sixth of July your Royal Father arrived at St. Germains in the King of France's Coaches accompanyed by the D. of Boüillon Great Chamberlain who was sent to receive him in his Majesty's Name Ber. There 's Honour still and Royal Respect I see shewn even to my Father's Misfortunes what would be done to his Prosperity Mess The King went to visit him the same day and receiv'd
him with all the Testimonies of a Tender and Ardent Affection And made him new Protestations to support him against his Enemy and to employ all his Forces to restore him nor did he shew him any signs of being dissatisfied with his Conduct Ber. There 's new Consolation for ye my Lords to raise your sinking Spirits Lauzune I wish they may come quickly or else I fear I shall be in the Sudds before their Arrival fetching a deep sigh Ber. Why d' ye sigh my Lord Lauzune Sighing again I know my Master 's a great Dissembler my Lord and I am well satisfied moreover that he has other Fish to fry than to employ all his Forces to assist your Royal Father Morbleu I don't like the beginning of the Story Go on Messenger Mess The Visit lasted above two Hours and by the report of some that understand Affairs 't was not altogether spent in Complements 'T is said also that your Royal Father is to go aboard the French Fleet and endeavour to land in England where he hopes to find a Considerable Party that will declare for him Ber. I like this well 'T was so order'd to save my Father's Vow who has determined never to head an Irish Army more Mess The next Morning he went to Versailles to visit her Majesty and return'd that Evening to the Queen his Royal Consort Ber. And how did she receive him Mess After a little studying Um why an 't like your Grace there were some little Bickerings between 'em at first but the next Morning she seem'd well contented Ber. Ay she 's a Woman never bears Malice long in her Mind Mess There 's something more that I have to say but I 'm loth to out with it Ber. Out with it man for fear of Choaking Mess 'T is said there stops Ber. Prithee go on Mess 'T is said that all the Welcomes and Caresses which the King made your father cannot reconcile him to the Esteem of the Court Grandees They say that William was truly born to Command and James to obey and that it was for your Father who had nothing more to lose to have acted the Person of King William in Ireland and for William the third to have spar'd himself as your Royal Father did Ber. And did they call him King William Mess Yes an 't like your Grace Ber. I 'le go and Challenge 'em every Mother's Son as soon as I 'me at leisure Well but how does my Royal Father look does he seem any way dejected Mess Quite the contrary Sir He carries it with an Air and Countenance rather of a Prince Triumphant over his Enemies than of a Person that had fled before 'em Ber. Law ye now there my Lords You see my Royal Father's Heart whole still and the King of France sticks to him I find we shall have t'other Brush for 't still Lauzune All this does not yet satisfie me I 'm sure my Master 's too knowing in the Art of War not to understand that if his Arms have not prosper'd in Ireland it must be in part the fault of him that commanded them So that if he received him kindly at his return and appear'd satisfied with his Couduct it was rather out of Policy than from the bottom of his Heart But my Master has still need of him to oppose the King of England and therefore it is that he is so good a Husband of him and so behaves himself towards him as if he were the greatest General in the World Sarsfield You are so full of Scruples my Lord you suppose and believe and believe and suppose this and that and t'other I believe and suppose no such thing I believe the King of France to be real and that he seriously intends to do as he says Tyr. Otherwise he were the most ungrateful Person in the World for when it lay in our Master's Power he did all that he could for him Nay I may boldly say that had it not been for our Master he had never come to what he is I will instance yee only in one thing and that was in mannaging all the Dutch Wars for your Master's advantage Tal. Gad I believe the most Christian King to be one of the Honestest Gentlemen in Europe and my reason is because he always lov'd a handsom Girl Ber. Look yee my Lords you must grant me that Kings Heads are better than other Mens Heads And if so then two Kings Heads are better than one so that I am confident after these two Kings have laid their Heads together a little while you 'll see strange Alterations in Europe Tal. Wou'd he were hang'd that does not not believe your Grace speaks like an Angel Sarsfield For my part I hope to be revelling in London Let me see How long first do you appoint a time my Lord Tyrcon Truly my Lord I can't Sars Before before Tuesday come Sennight Lauzune Not so soon Colonel Sars I 'le hold ye my Lord a hundred Guineys to one on 't Lauzune Wagers are Fools Arguments Colonel Sars By the Bones of my Father I 'le take the Lye from ne'er a French Bougre Diable of ye all Draws They all draw take Parties fall a fighting and so put an end to the last Act.
