- (continued from previous page)For which our holy apostles have died,
Christ's words in the Scripture, he said was a lie,
So now I am sure,
He is in great need of a New Reformation
For he'd pay no submission, to Bishop or Deacon
But his whole respects due,
Was to cabbage and bacon
He's turn coat Mick in the morning.
III
And since he deserted from the Holy See,
How can yous expect he'd be loyal to ye
For you wil find him to many
For both you and me,
So thus in your convert,
Yous are greatly mistaken
But if ever he enters the gates of Salvation
He's turncoat Mick in the morningNote:- Turncoat was the name given to Catholics who turned Protestant.
