A SECOND CONSULTATION BETWEEN THE POPE and the TURK, Concerning the Propagation of the Catbolick Faith.

[Page]

POPE.

HAil mighty Monarch! by whoſe aid

I hope I ſhall ſubdue,

And for the future make afraid

The whole Heretical Crew;

You will both wiſe and grateful prove

While you with me combine,

Who always have ſhew'd you my love,

And now your good deſign.

TƲRK.

What mean theſe ambiguities

With which to me you come?

Is th' Oracle of doubtful lies

From Delphos gone to Rome?

Your kindneſs I ne're uaderſtood,

Whatever you pretend:

To him to whom you ne'er did good,

How can you be a friend?

POPE.

Ungrateful man! do you forget

[...]

[...] yet

Your scepter doth obey▪

I did the Greeks to Florence call,

And kept them there with me:

And you were Maſter made of all,

Before we could agree.

TƲRK.

This manifeſts your wickedneſs

And makes your Cauſe yet worſe;

I ſee no reaſon you to Bleſs,

Though Greece hath cauſe to Curſe:

You prove your Treachery indeed,

But not your love to me,

You'd ne're have helpt me in my need,

If they'd ſubmitted t'ee.

POPE.

I think I ſtood your Friend (good Sir)

When James did aſpire:

I both did keep him Priſoner,

And poiſon'd him for hire;

Then againſt France 'twas I did ſend

For your victorious Arms,

With promiſe that I would deſend

Your Kingdoms from all harms.

TƲRK.

Two hundred thouſand Florens, when

You did my Brother's work,

You had: The Benefactor then

Was not the Pope but Turk;

'Tis true me once you did invite

Your int'reſt to advance;

Not cauſe you lov'd me, but for ſpite

Againſt the King of France.

POPE.

Though ſtill Ingratitude you pay

For kindneſſes good ſtore,

If you'l be rul'd, I'le on you lay

One obligation more:

I'le raiſe your Empire yet ſo high,

That you ſhall ſtraitway yield

That I pull down, and onely I

Do Monarchies rebuild.

TƲRK.

For all your talk, I ſtill do fear

That while you make a pother,

And with one hand pretend to rear,

You pull down, with the other:

But what is't now that I muſt do,

[...]

[...]

Are really my Friend?

POPE.

Why firſt I'le give you all thoſe lands

That 'gainſt me do rebel,

Go take them ſtrait into your hands,

I've curſt their Kings to Hell;

I freely to the King of Spain

The Britiſh Iſlands gave:

He wanted ſtrength thoſe Iſles to gain,

Which I am ſure you have.

TƲRK.

You're generous Sir, and at one word

Great Territories grant,

Which if men gain not by the Sword,

They muſt for ever want:

So while you Saintſhip give to ſome,

And frankly Heaven beſtow,

I doubt (wh [...]re's decreed at Rome)

Their portion is below.

POPE.

Whether Heav'n and Hell, are in my gift

I do not greatly care,

(Let learned men thoſe Queſtion ſift)

ſure earthly Kingdoms are;

I can from antient deeds declare

What pow'r belongs to me:

The greateſt Kings are what they are

By my Authority.

TƲRK.

I've often heard what Tricks you uſe

To help you in your needs,

Sometimes you do the VVorld abuſe

With forged Books and Deeds:

Sometimes you Kingdoms give away

(As now you do to me)

Hoping that thus obliged, they

Your Vaſſals ſtill will be.

POPE.

If I your Benefactor be,

I hope ydu won't think much,

(When I've rais'd you to high degree)

To honour me as ſuch:

If Ʋniverſal Monarchy

You do receive from me,

The Ʋniverſal Paſtor I

May be allow'd to be.

TƲRK.

I underſtand your kindneſs now,

[...]

If unto you I'le cringe and bow,

And after your Pipe dance;

Then you'l unto me be ſo kind,

That you will crack your brain,

Some place i'th Alcoran to find,

That ſhall your Pride maintain.

This honour more you'l on me heap,

Whenever, I you meet,

That on my knees I ſtrait muſt creep,

To kiſs your Worſhips feet.

When ere your Pride I do oppoſe,

You'l curſe me ſtrait to Hell;

My Subjects too ſhall ne're want thoſe

Shall ſtir them to Rebel.

You ſtill unto me plagues will ſend

As you have done to others,

From Prieſts I muſt my ſelf defend,

Worſe than aſpiring Brothers:

Where you fet foot no Prince is free,

But ſtrait muſt be your ſlave,

Good Sir, pray ceaſe treat with me;

I other buſineſs have.

FINIS.

Editorial practices

EEBO-TCP is a partnership between the Universities of Michigan and Oxford and the publisher ProQuest to create accurately transcribed and encoded texts based on the image sets published by ProQuest via their Early English Books Online (EEBO) database (http://eebo.chadwyck.com). The general aim of EEBO-TCP is to encode one copy (usually the first edition) of every monographic English-language title published between 1473 and 1700 available in EEBO.

EEBO-TCP aimed to produce large quantities of textual data within the usual project restraints of time and funding, and therefore chose to create diplomatic transcriptions (as opposed to critical editions) with light-touch, mainly structural encoding based on the Text Encoding Initiative (http://www.tei-c.org).

The EEBO-TCP project was divided into two phases. The 25,363 texts created during Phase 1 of the project have been released into the public domain as of 1 January 2015. Anyone can now take and use these texts for their own purposes, but we respectfully request that due credit and attribution is given to their original source.

Users should be aware of the process of creating the TCP texts, and therefore of any assumptions that can be made about the data.

Text selection was based on the New Cambridge Bibliography of English Literature (NCBEL). If an author (or for an anonymous work, the title) appears in NCBEL, then their works are eligible for inclusion. Selection was intended to range over a wide variety of subject areas, to reflect the true nature of the print record of the period. In general, first editions of a works in English were prioritized, although there are a number of works in other languages, notably Latin and Welsh, included and sometimes a second or later edition of a work was chosen if there was a compelling reason to do so.

Image sets were sent to external keying companies for transcription and basic encoding. Quality assurance was then carried out by editorial teams in Oxford and Michigan. 5% (or 5 pages, whichever is the greater) of each text was proofread for accuracy and those which did not meet QA standards were returned to the keyers to be redone. After proofreading, the encoding was enhanced and/or corrected and characters marked as illegible were corrected where possible up to a limit of 100 instances per text. Any remaining illegibles were encoded as <gap>s. Understanding these processes should make clear that, while the overall quality of TCP data is very good, some errors will remain and some readable characters will be marked as illegible. Users should bear in mind that in all likelihood such instances will never have been looked at by a TCP editor.

The texts were encoded and linked to page images in accordance with level 4 of the TEI in Libraries guidelines.

Copies of the texts have been issued variously as SGML (TCP schema; ASCII text with mnemonic sdata character entities); displayable XML (TCP schema; characters represented either as UTF-8 Unicode or text strings within braces); or lossless XML (TEI P5, characters represented either as UTF-8 Unicode or TEI g elements).
