Extraordinary verses on Pope-night

The Fifth Day of November;
What tho' it is a Day apast?
You still can it remember.
10. The little Popes, they go out First,
With little teney Boys:
In Frolicks they are full of Gale
And laughing make a Noise.
11. The Girls run out to see the Sight,
The Boys eke ev'ry one;
Along they are a dragging them,
With Granadier's Caps on.
12. The great Ones next go out, and meet
With many a Smart Rebuf:
They're hall'd along from Street to Street
And call hard Names enough.

Not read of fair Pope-Joan.]
19. "Help Joan!

Pretender and Old-Nick;
How they together lay their Heads,
To plot a poison Trick?
