Roses are red,
I’m keen for enloverment.
Once you’ve accepted
The Instrument of Government.
Roses are red
The Sin of Achan is a vice.
I can only accept,
The Additional Petition and Advice
Roses are red
But our romance will be short,
If you proceed with
The Treaty of Newport.
Roses are red,
I know many good positions.
But I’ll tell you where you can stick,
The Newcastle Propositions.
Roses are red,
I fancy you a lot.
I just need to deal with,
This damnéd Papist Plot.
Roses are red
I wish for some smoochin’,
Also one day hopefully
You’ll become a Capuchin.
Roses are red,
My ears are hurtin’
But you’re much better company
Than Bastwick or Burton.
And finally...
Roses are red,
Violets are like your eyes.
Communion tables,
Should be placed altarwise.
