Lausun La Hoquette Count de Leri Lausun Reading a Letter I am certainly inform'd that the Prince of Orange will suddenly be in Ireland with a great Army Therefore if your Affairs do not succeed in that Kingdom be sure to be careful of K. James and hasten his safe return into France La Hoquette Our Master 's a Wise King but why he should be so chary of an Unfortunate Prince is past my Apprehension Diable I am sorry he is not in France at this present For never any thing prosper'd where-ever he was Lausun If you do not apprehend it I do there 's no such Mystery but may be easily unfolded Should he be too Fortunate he would be too Rampant for our Master Let him be Unfortunate but still preserve him in his Misfortunes and at one time or other he may chance to do our Masters work La Hoquette Mortbleu What a power of Mony has he cost our Master already to no purpose Lausun Th' art a Fool my Master has not spent a Doit upon him all our Master has spent has been for his own Interest Had it not been for our Masters pretended assisting him in this Kingdom and by that means cutting out other work for the P. of O. we should have had that Encroaching Enemy of ours at Versailles before this And besides if our Master get this Kingdom under this pretence 't is all clear Gains and Mony well laid out You know what he Conquers is all his own let the Pretence be what it will If our Master thought the Kingdom of Heaven worth Having he has Pen-men that would derive his Pedigre in a direct Line from the Virgin Mary rather than he should want a Pretention In short K. James must be a Goad in the sides of the English as long as he lives La Hoquette Mortbleu then let our Master find out a Goad that will peirce to the Quick and not such a Goad without a Point as K. James Let him set up his Son the Young P. of Wales Fortune 's a Whore and loves Young Flesh better than Old Lausun No no There are none in England but those of our own Religion that believe that Farce King J. has been Crown'd in that Kingdom and the Protestant Jesuits of his Party have found out a quaint Distinction already of a King de Jure and de Facto to make a Broyl upon the Coast and divide the Allegiance of the People 'T is for this our Master is so chary of K. James otherwise he would not care whither the Cham of Tartary or the Great Mogul were King of England 't were all one to Him Our Master 's a Charitable Monarch and if any Forreign Prince in his Distress craves his Assistance there is no Man so ready to lay hold of the Opportunity The Fox desir'd the Lamb but only to let him put in his Head and then he knew well enough how to get in his whole Body La Hoquette Nay I know our Master knows how to make use of a proper Tool as well as any Prince in Europe But what would he do with this Island if he had it Lausun Why Transplant all the Cowardly Irish to his Plantations in America and People the Kingdom with his own Subjects Or what if he should Dispeople the Country and leave it without Inhabitants La Hoquette I confess 't is a good way to prevent Rebellion Lausun You know our Master loves to be King of
dare not trust to the Devils Curtesie Tyrcon Sir you may think what you pleafe you may do what you please you may go to Avernus if you please when all 's done 'tis the sword must deside the Quarrel You have a brave and a numerous Army here you have Friends in England and if the Cock-match do but hit we are made Powis Ay if the Cock-match hit 't will spoil His Highness's Journey for Ireland I 'm sure and I can't well devise how it should miss if his Majesty of France be not too penurious of his Leuidore's D'Avaux My Lord my Master 's no Snale He knows his own business Herbert And then again the Distinction of a King de Jure and de Facto works like Butter in a Sows Tail One rub 't is true will turn a Bowl from the Jack but here are many rubs in his Highness's way if he gets over 'em all I must contradict your Majesty and say Miracles are not ceast James The Prince is a good Gamester my Lord and knows how to mend his next Cast tho his first Bowl miscarry Herbert Well but suppose the Prince should come among us won't he be treated with James No no my Lord I know him too well He 'll ne're come to Compositions He 'll have all or none He 's too well acquainted with my Brother of France and I to trust the strongest Engagements we can make him unless we so secure him that it would be the same thing as if we should surrender up all into his hands Tyrcon Why then we must trust to the Sword They say Fortune assists the Daring I am sure she never helps those that lye i' the Ditch and cry God Help 'em Men that resolve to dye are easily Masters of other Mens Lives Besides there is one thing more your Majesty does not think of I have heard of Jacob Clements and Ravilliac 'T is true 't is below Persons of Honour to make use of such means but Necessity oft times constrains us to base Actions James I understand ye my Lord and have been often thinking of what you say but I have been censur'd too severely already for my Brother's Death and the business of the E. of Essex and I am loath to expose my Memory to farther Ignominy Besides 't is a work of Darkness not fit for present Consultation Powis Time Sir prays upon your Life as well as upon Ours Something therefore must be done with Expedition James You rather Teeze than Advise me my Lord what is that you would have me to do with so much Expedition Have you got your Tools ready if you have set 'em to work Your Clements's and Ravilliac's are not so soon tutor'd as you think for Had I come sooner to the Throne D'Avaux What said my Master Then you had been sooner turn'd out James Consequently the sooner turn'd in again if your Master 's good Luck han't quite left him i' the Lurch I fear I am come to the Ebb of his Fortune Powis They say indeed there is a Fate in all things A Man that is born to be Hang'd shall never be Drown'd and he does but row against the Stream that contends with Fortune Herbert Fortune is many times like a Dover Post-horse she 'll go so far and no farther I wish she be not now in her Sullens Tyrcon I care not a Fig for Fortune she 's a Jade of all Religions she 's a Heathen a Turk a Jew a Catholick a Heretick she waited upon Octavius Cesar a Pagan to his dying Minute but Deserts the Most Christian King when he has most need of her Assistance and will not let him have a bit of good Luck but what he pays through the Nose for But let her be as Waspish as she will I am perswaded she might be manacl'd with Prudence Courage and Diligence Sir speaking to the King you must make the Stress of your Opposition at the Boyne If the Prince get that Pass we are all ruin'd Had our Priests Faith enough to remove Mountains half a Score of the biggest i'th is Kingdom would be few enow to add to the Natural Fortifications of that place But if the Prince had a hundred Mountains to clamber He 'll get over 'em all unless you oppose him with Courage Prudence and Diligence equal to his Sir you must oppose the Prince and his Fortune with those three Barricado's or else a Rush for your Opposition D'Avaux Jernegoy my Lord you have put your Dread Sovereign upon the hardest Task he ever had in his Life Herbert My Lord you talk of Prudence Courage and Diligence Why those my Lord are Virtues that never grew i'th is Country The Air of this Climate has a natural Antipathy against 'em and will no more endure 'em than it will Spiders or Nightingales Nugent What need Forreign Manufacture when we have Treachery Bogs and Newries of our own Growth Poyson all the Fresh Water i' the Country and hang up the Protestants upon all the Trees i' the Road and infect the Air with the Stench of their Carcasses Strew the Grass with Rats-bane to kill up their Cattel My Lords we have Zeal without knowledge A good Rat-catcher would Kill a thousand of these Heretick Vermin in a day James My Lords here 's one talks of Courage and Valour another of Poysoning and Plaguing and I know not what my self but no body talks of Praying to Heaven for Success Tyrcon Let the Church-men do that they have nothing else to do James Why then my Lord D'Avaux do you send into France tell your Master how the case stands advise him not to loose a Hog for a Hapoth of Tar I 'll send into England and do something or nothing And for you my Lords do you bustle about ride about run about fly about and about and about take the Rope as well as the Butter if one slips t'other will hold I know not what more can be said or what more can be done SCENE VII Hall the Jesuit and Priests Hall 'T is true 't is a black Cloud and gathers thicker and thicker but I spake with the Queen of Heaven last night and she assur'd me she would take care to disperse it 1. Priest I am afraid we are all out of the way for the Queen of Heaven is but a Woman and I fear me does not understand our Business We should pray to St. Martin and the Seven Champions they understand M litary Affairs and Fighting 2. Priest In truth Father Hall we have been long enough Praying to Heaven without any considerable Success I am afraid the Saints there are all turn'd Protestants And therefore I would that we should now turn our Devotions downward and send to Gog and Magog there are they two and General Belzebub would bring along an Host of Infernal Hussars able to conquer all the Cantons of Switzerland Hall How wickedly you talk Father 't is the Interst of the Saints to favour our Cause I 'm sure there 's no Religion i' the
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. Officer By my shoule Father if the whole Army were as well shatisfied as we they would fight like so many Lyons for their Preys what say you Dear Joys Omnes We say as you say and we say as the Fathers say and the Fathers have made great shatisfassions upon us by St. Pautrick Hall You speak like noble Champions of the Church go then and inculcate these things into the minds of your Fellow Dear-Joys and we 'll be sure to be with you every day to confirm you in your Resolutions Exeunt Officers and Souldiers 4. 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. Priest We 'll do all that lyes in our Power you may be sure my Lord. 'T was we that made 'em formerly rebell And now we hope to make 'em fight as well ACT. II. Scene 9.

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.
